Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of honey, 2 cups of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir them together until they are well blended and smooth.
- Add the rolled oats to the peanut butter and honey mixture. Stir until the oats are fully coated with the peanut butter and honey.
- Sprinkle the salt over the mixture and fold it in to ensure an even distribution.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie, as they may spread slightly.
- Once all the mixture is portioned out, use the back of a fork or your fingers to flatten each cookie slightly, giving them a more traditional cookie shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the cookies to firm up. If you prefer, you can also freeze them for about 10-15 minutes for a quicker set.
- After the cookies have set, remove them from the refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy your no-bake peanut butter and oatmeal cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and smoother consistency.
- For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats to maintain better texture.
- Chill the cookies thoroughly to help them set and develop a firmer structure.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit for variety.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add a few extra oats to help bind the cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and professional-looking results.
- Store cookies in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and prevent melting.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Allow cookies to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for optimal texture.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and cookie removal.
