These cookies are so simple and tasty! They remind me of my mom. She used to make these for us when I was a kid. When she wasn’t working, she would always have a baked sweet snack for us when we got home from school. Whenever these were waiting in the fridge I was thrilled! I love chocolate, peanut butter, and oats and always have!
Kids can totally help make these cookies or if they are old enough they can make them themselves! It is a great first cookie rceipe for a new baker or cook!
These no bake chocolate oat cookies are very customizable. You can use a sugar replacement that is healthier such as, coconut sugar, honey or maple syrup. Adding shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or crunchy peanut butter are some of my favorites!
Right now we are going through a difficult time. Our state and many others are having to “shelter in place” because of the pandemic Covid 19. This recipe is a great one to make while you are at home. All these ingredients are staples in my pantry and if you enjoy baking then you most likely have them as well.
