This is the first batch of no-bake cookies that I have made since I was in high school. I honestly do not know why it has been so long. These cookies are so easy to make and they taste great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaghan shared recipes to make the popular peanut butter & chocolate no-bake cookies<\/a> made using cocoa and peanut butter. She also shared recipes to make no bake avalanche cookies<\/a><\/strong> and no-bake monster cookies<\/a> (peanut butter oatmeal cookies topped with M&M's and chocolate chips.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her cookies all looked so yummy that I was inspired to pull out my saucepan and whip up a batch of peanut butter no-bake cookies. I'm so glad I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

how to make no-bake peanut butter cookies with oatmeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YOU WILL NEED:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUTTER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use unsalted or salted butter to make this no-bake cookie recipe. If you use salted butter, just eliminate the salt from the recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SALT (optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you use salted butter you can eliminate the salt from the recipe. Be sure to add it if you use unsalted butter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUGAR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need 1 \u00be cups granulated sugar for these cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MILK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose \u00bd cup of any of your favorite milk. I used whole milk in this recipe but 2% or even low-fat milk will work fine. If you want the cookies to be really rich you can even use half-and-half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VANILLA EXTRACT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEANUT BUTTER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because consistency and texture are important when making no bake cookies, it is best to use a brand of creamy peanut butter that does not separate, like Jif (my preference), Peter Pan, or Skippy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do use natural peanut butter that separates, be sure to mix the oil into the nut butter very well before adding it to the cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QUICK OATS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using quick oats (also known as instant oats) will give your cookies a good texture. Using old-fashioned oats will make your cookies chewier and possibly a little tough. Do not use steel-cut oats or your cookies will be crunchy and hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I swap out something else for quick oats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are not a fan of oats, you can use corn flakes instead. Just make the recipe as is and swap out corn flakes for the oats. You might also want to check out our recipe to make Avalanche Cookies using Rice Krispies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
