Description

These No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are a quick and easy treat that requires minimal effort. With the perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors, these cookies are sure to satisfy your cravings.


Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats


Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently.
  2. Once boiling, cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  3. Immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the oats and stir until fully coated.
  5. Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or chill in the refrigerator for faster results.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for best texture—old-fashioned oats can make the cookies too chewy.
  • You can substitute almond or sunflower butter for a nut-free version.
  • Add mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut for extra flavor.
