Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200 g
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 50 g
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 115 g
  • 1/2 cup milk 120 ml
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats 240 g
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter 125 g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once it starts to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the quick-cooking oats to the mixture, stirring well until all the oats are fully coated.
  • Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper. Allow them to cool until they set.

Notes

Let the mixture cool slightly before dropping spoonfuls onto the wax paper to help them hold their shape better. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of cinnamon. You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter if you have nut allergies.
