Print Recipe

These No-Bake Chocolate Oat Cookies are quick, easy, and delicious treats made with pantry staples like oats, cocoa, and peanut butter — perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter.
  2. Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Mix in the oats until fully combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment-lined baking sheets.
  6. Let cookies cool at room temperature for 30–60 minutes until set.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for the best texture; rolled oats may make the cookies too chewy.
  • For a firmer cookie, chill them in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.
  • Try adding shredded coconut or chopped nuts for variety.
  • Make them dairy-free by using plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
