These chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies without milk are perfect when you feel like having a little treat and don't have enough time for real baking!
1tablespoonalmond milk or other plant-based milk(optional but recommended)
Instructions
First, melt the chocolate (either use a microwave or melt it on the stovetop).
Once it's melted, stir in the oats and the peanut butter and add a splash of the plant-based milk if using. Stir until well combined.
Put some parchment paper on a plate and evenly divide the no bake cookie batter. Form about six cookies and place them in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours, so they got enough time to harden up.
Notes
Make sure to use rolled oats for these no bake oatmeal cookies. The recipe won't work with quick oats.
I like to use smooth unsweetened peanut butter for these oatmeal cookies. The chocolate is sweet enough by itself and the cookies will be a lot healthier.
If you want these cookies to be gluten-free, make sure to use oats that are labeled "gluten-free". The oats might be cross-contaminated wheat, barley, or rye otherwise.
I usually use vegan dark chocolate that is sweetened with brown sugar. I would not recommend using completely unsweetened chocolate as you don't have any other kinds of sweeteners in this recipe.
