These No Bake Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are an easy, quick treat made with wholesome ingredients like oats, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup. Perfect for warm days, busy schedules, or a kid-friendly snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and warm.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Add rolled oats to the mixture and stir until fully coated.
- Let the mixture cool slightly before folding in the mini chocolate chips to prevent melting.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon if desired.
- Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and set.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a peanut-free version.
- Add shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Mix in dried cranberries or raisins for a fruity twist.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.
