Maple No Bake Cookies
Sometimes you need a little something sweet in a hurry, and without an oven. These no bake maple oatmeal cookies are an easy treat the whole family will love. Luckily they only take a handful of ingredients and a few minutes to make.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1½ cups old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the 1 cup maple syrup and ¼ cup milk. Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Maintain a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the 1½ cups old fashioned oats, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let cool for a couple of minutes and test the consistency. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when scooped. If needed, stir in a few more oats or a teaspoon or two of milk to get the desired consistency.
- Scoop about about tablespoon of the warm cookie mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and allow to cool completely. To set them quicker, but the tray in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- Store no bake cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Or freeze the cookies for even longer storage.
- Sometimes I like to stir in a Tablespoon or two of ground flax seed with the oatmeal.
- Because these cookies are no bake, you can make them whatever size you would like. I usually use a small cookie scoop to make portioning the cookies easier. The recipe makes 24 small cookies.
