I found this quick recipe, No Bake Cookies, that uses oatmeal as it’s core ingredient. The first few ingredients (sugar, cocoa powder, salt, butter, milk) are mixed in pan for a while, removed from heat and then mixed into oatmeal and peanut butter. The mixture is then dropped as cookies on a wax sheet and allowed to cool.
I stole a taste like I always do before dropping them. The oats were a little flakey so they went back on the stove with some milk to help soften them. That turned it gooey but luckily cooking them longer helped dry them.
Just to be sure, I cooked them further in the microwave ~ roughly three minutes. They ended up with a texture similar to that of chewy fudge brownies.
While the recipe was amazing as itself, I definitely preferred the oats cooked. If I had to try these again, I would either put them in the microwave longer or decrease the amount of milk added to soak the oats.
In retrospect I could’ve just baked them but then they wouldn’t be no-bake, now would they?
Doesn’t nuking them defeat the purpose of no bake things? XD; Maybe if you don’t use oats next time, I wonder if granola is readily available. I think it may taste better. I’m not overly fond of raw oats either.
It does xP I was thinking of using a multigrain cereal that no one eats around here (the combination tastes good as it is but it’s a little hard too eat).
Everyone’s joining into the threading
B/c it wins at life. ooo Multigrain sounds good too but I wonder how it tastes raw….Wow, I have to try this out, sounds interesting and yummy :9 Though I wonder if I can make myself to do this xD
Make it! It’s super easy
Those look AMAZING. <3
I bet they taste similarly to Granola bars? I’d like to try them, but I don’t like the microwave.
BTW, you probably don’t remember me, but this is Theresa Rose. I can’t remember my old sites name, but yar I’m back
I remember you =). Yeah, they do taste similar to Granola bars and actually a tiny bit like Snickers because of the peanut butter (the recipe called for the chunky kind) and chocolate.
