Equipment

  • 1 small sauce pan
  • parchment paper
  • spoon, measuring cups & spoons, cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

Bring to a Boil:

  • 1 C sugar
  • 1/4 C whole milk I use Fairelife whole milk which is lactose free
  • 1/8 C Cacao powder
  • 4 TBSP butter

Mix in after:

  • 1/4 C peanut butter
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 C rolled oats, gluten free

Instructions
 

  • In a small sauce pan on medium heat, add sugar, cacao powder, milk, and butter. Bring mixture to a boil. Boil 45 seconds to 1 minute. NOT any longer.
  • Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, sea salt and vanilla. Then add in rolled oats and stir until well coated.
  • Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop (about 2-3 TBSP amount)onto parchment paper. Let cool completely- about 20 minutes. I sometimes like to move the cookie over just a little bit after 15 minutes so the bottom of the cookie cools all the way and doesn't collect any moisture.
  • Store in zip baggie or freeze. Makes about 14-15 small cookies. You can easily double this recipe.
