Peanut Butter Oatmeal No Bake Cookies

"(No Wheat / No Egg) Cookies in five minutes! No wheat or egg so these are great for wheat or egg free diets. A friend gave me the original recipe that called for white sugar and they were great that way. I tried it with brown sugar and that is the ONLY way I'll fix them now! Totally a new level. Only takes 10 minutes total to prepare these."

Questions & Replies

  1. Has anyone used Almond milk or lactose free milk?
     
  2. Are you supposed to cook the oatmeal first? I put in dry oats and the mixture came out kinda dry and chewy.

  1. I am not leaving any starrs because I just wanted to add, for those that say the cookies aren't setting and then giving a low rating: That is because you aren't cooking them long enough. Depending on your location, sometimes that minute needs to be longer. If you have trouble the first time, it just means next time, cook longer before adding to the oats! It is the same with any unbaked cookie. It's not the recipe, it's that you didn't cook it long enough!
     
  2. I was looking for a non-chocolate no bake oatmeal cookie, here it is! I made this as written, simple to stir up. (Tip: 5 Tbsp is almost exactly 1/3 cup.) They had a good flavor but were too sweet. As noted, they needed more oatmeal as well. Next time I'll 1) cut the sugar in half like some other reviewers did, 2) boil for an extra minute so they set a little firmer 3) add the pb and vanilla to the pot after the mixture is done boiling, then stir in the oatmeal to make it a 1 pot recipe.
     
  3. We are big fans of gooey no bake cookies. However only cooking for 1 minute isn't long enough. So cook them another minute or two and they will be fine. But they are a great tasting cookie and will definately make again. So what if this batch is too gooey, like none of us ever ate a cookie standing over the kitchen sink before. PS. I too cut the sugar down to 1 1/2 cups.
     
  4. Butter, milk and brown sugar should be boiled at least 3 minutes- otherwise you'll end up with goop.
     
  5. Just plain excellent!! I made these sugar free by using only 1 c. of xylitol. Turned out just perfect! Using xylitol they will take alittle longer to set up, but the taste was excellent. These are going to be made again and again. I love em!!! Thanks so much!

Tweaks

  1. I used half brown sugar and half white sugar and I used almond butter instead of peanut butter! Great for the holidays or just any time!
     
  2. Excellent recipe! I used coconut milk in place of regular and reduced the brown sugar by half. Still tastes great! I may have to refrigerate them to get them to set, but that's okay by me.
     
  3. I experimented a little after reading the other reviews. I used dark brown sugar and soy milk instead of milk. The first batch, I used 1/4 of the amount of sugar. The result was just basically pb-covered oats, but they still tasted good. The next batch had 1/2 the amount of sugar from the recipe. I think at least 1/2 the amount of sugar is necessary for the right consistency and texture, but I just can't imagine using the full amount of sugar. A nice change from the chocolate version of these cookies. Thanks!
