I have made these cookies ever since I was a little girl, but now I have veganized them and greatly reduced the oil!! I am so excited to share the recipe with you all! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup non-dairy butter (ie Earthbalance)
Method
Step 1
In a glass or metal bowl, add rolled oats, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. No need to mix yet—wait until the next part is ready.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat butter, sugars, milk, and cocoa powder. Bring to a full rolling boil and set a timer for it to boil exactly 1 minute 30 seconds.
Step 3
Immediately remove from heat and add to the oats in the glass bowl and stir. Immediately use a small serving scooper (about 1/2" circumference) to scoop out onto wax paper to dry. (If you don't have one, you can use a spoon to scoop it, and another to scoop it off.) Allow to sit to harden. Enjoy!
