Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups sugar
  • ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 cups quick or rolled oats

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Parchment or wax paper
  • Baking tray or flat surface
  • Refrigerator (optional for faster setting)

Method
 

  1. Take a medium-sized saucepan & mix sugar, cocoa, milk & butter.
  2. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute.
  3. Now, remove from the flame and stir it well, peanut butter, vanilla & salt until you get the soft texture.
  4. Add oats and mix until evenly coated.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto parchment paper.
  6. Let cool at room temperature for 30–45 minutes or chill to speed up.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for a softer texture or rolled oats for a chewier texture.
  • If using natural peanut butter, stir well to avoid separation.
  • To enhance flavor, add espresso powder, cinnamon, or mini chocolate chips.
  • Store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days, or you can freeze for up to 5 months.
  • Vegan version: Use plant-based butter and milk.
