When you feel the need for peanut butter sweets, these Peanut Butter Oatmeal No Bake Cookies will satisfy your craving! Literally packed with peanut buttery goodness, with a soft texture and just the right amount of chewiness thanks to the quick oats!
Intense peanut butter flavor packed into these delightfully soft no bake cookies!
I have always found it amusing that the kids, when given a choice between these peanut butter oatmeal no bake cookies and the classic chocolate no bake cookies, will always pick one or the other as a favorite. Rarely do I ever hear that both versions are liked equally from anyone! Of course, when either is served the plate is clean in a matter of minutes. I take these to Lauren's classroom all of the time, have taken them to potlucks and church fellowship gatherings so many times that I can say quite positively that our peanut butter oatmeal no bake cookies will not last long wherever you serve them either 🙂
Peanut Butter Oatmeal No Bake Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup butter (salted, one stick)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3 cups quick oats (do not use old fashioned or steel cut oats)
Instructions
- Heat a medium saucepan with the butter, sugar and milk over medium high to high (enough to bring the syrup to a boil). Stir frequently to prevent burning!
- Once the butter is melted and the syrup has reached a full rolling boil, cook at a boil for 1 full minute then remove from heat.
- Add the vanilla and peanut butter and stir to combine with the syrup. Then add the quick oats and stir until mixed thoroughly and the oats are evenly coated.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to cool and set up for at least one hour. I usually make my no bake cookies in the evening to allow the peanut butter oatmeal no bake cookies to set up completely overnight.
