Healthier No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies image

This is a healthier version of the no-bake cookies we all know and love. Lots of cocoa, more oatmeal (we use regular instead of the quick-cook kind for even more oaty texture), and less sugar and butter make us feel a little less guilty for indulging!

Time 10m

Yield 40 cookies, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups rolled oats

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, cocoa, milk and salt in saucepan; boil for one minute.
  • Add peanut butter, butter, and vanilla to hot mixture; stir until combined.
  • Stir in oats thoroughly and drop by spoonfuls (I use a small cookie scoop) onto waxed paper. Cool thoroughly before removing from paper.
  • (Note: the new nasty-tasting flaxseed peanut butters taste just fine in this recipe; add that and increase the healthiness even more!).
