Peanut Butter Cocoa {no bake} Oatmeal Cookies
Adapted from About.com to be low sugar and use whole-food ingredients
3.5 Cups of Whole Oat Oatmeal
1/2 Cup of Sugar
1 Cup of Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup of Coconut Oil
1/2 Cup of Cocoa
1/2 Cup of Almond Milk
1 Cup of natural, no-sugar added Peanut Butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
a dash of salt
- Put all of the dry ingredients into measuring cups so each can be easily added to the pan.
- Melt the butter and then add milk, followed by cocoa, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. {Note that adding the butter and milk first makes it easier to mix in other dry ingredients.}
- Bring it to a boil for about a minute, while stirring so that all ingredients are mixed well and nothing burns.
- Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and oats into the cocoa mixture, coating the oats thoroughly.
- While still warm, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture out and form each into a cookie atop a wax-paper-coated cookie sheet.
- Let the cookies cool, set them in the fridge for about 45 minutes.
