Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup milk (any type)
Instructions
- Heat Wet Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently warm the peanut butter, cocoa powder, caramel sauce, and milk together. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, being careful not to let it boil.
- Mix in Oats: Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually stir in the oats until they are thoroughly coated with the chocolate peanut butter caramel mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them lightly into cookie forms.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the cookies for at least 1 hour or until firm to the touch before serving.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for best texture; natural peanut butter may make the mix grainy.
- Substitute milk with a plant-based alternative to make the recipe dairy-free.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For added crunch, consider folding in chopped nuts or seeds with the oats.
