This No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie recipe is very versatile and can be used as a base. Feel free to add your favorite add ins such as: chopped pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, etc.) or even some no sugar added chocolate chips ( Be sure to sprinkle the chocolate chips after cooking to avoid melting)  for additional points. 

What ingredients do I need to make these No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies?

• Quick Cooking Oats: The quick cooking oats makes the cookie texture chewy and delicious. Be sure to use quick cook oats and NOT old fashioned oats. The old fashioned oats creates a different texture for these cookies and they are tougher in texture. 

• Fat/Butter/Peanut Butter:  It important to add a little bit of fat to this recipe to help bind the oats together. Now that my two favorite whipped peanut butters Jif Whips and Peter Pan 1/3 less fat whipped have both been discontinued!! I have since found a few other brands that I tried and LOVE!

This Better’n Peanut Butter Peanut Butter is only 100 calories, 3 Points for 2 Tablespoons, 4 grams of protein, and is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Palm Oil Free, and Kosher.

• Unsweetened Almond Milk or Skim Milk:

The unsweetened or skim milk is used to thin out the chocolate sauce. You will only be adding in 1/2 cup-so the overall point value doesn’t change regardless of which one you use. 

• White sugar substitute/vanilla or almond extract:

I use Lakanto Classic Monk fruit Sweetener as a substitute for granulated white sugar.  In my honest opinion, the is the best tasting zero point sugar substitute on the market. It has no after taste and tastes and bakes just like regular sugar. Many other sugar substitutes have a bitter aftertaste and don’t bake well. You can find this at your local Costco store or save 20 % off online here.
