Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1⁄2 cup coconut oil measured as liquid
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 1⁄2 cup almond milk
- 1⁄2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 1⁄2 cups oats
Directions
Combine peanut butter, sugar, coconut oil, cocoa, almond milk, & salt in a large saucepan. Stir until combined.
Turn the heat on to medium; stir continuously until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
Set a timer for 4 minutes and continue to stir the mixture for the entire duration. Don’t turn the heat down after you reach the rolling boil; you want it to continue boiling while you stir.
When the timer goes off, turn off the stove and remove the pan from the heat. Immediately pour in the vanilla and continue to stir. The mixture will boil again for just a moment when you add the vanilla; this is what we want!
Pour in the oats and stir until all are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Drop the oatmeal mixture by the spoonful onto a parchment-covered countertop.
Leave cookies to cool and set. They will lose some of their shine while cooling and should easily lift off of the parchment when ready.
Enjoy!
