hello and welcome back to in the kitchen with Matt I am your host Matt Taylor
today I'm gonna show you how to make chocolate no baked oatmeal cookies mmm
yummy super easy to do simple ingredients no baking required and these
are gluten free if I can do it you can do it let's get started down below the
video in the description box you'll find the ingredients list and all the amounts
first let's take a large stove pot and we're gonna add in our 1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of milk I'm just using 2% and
then our 1 1/2 cups of white granulated
sugar and then our 1/4 cup of
unsweetened cocoa powder and our 1/4
teaspoon of salt and our 1/2 cup of
packed light brown sugar or we could use
dark brown if you like let's go ahead
and take this over to the stovetop
alright we'll set the burner to medium
heat and we're going to go ahead head
and keep this up and we want to bring it to a rolling boil and we're gonna be
stirring this to make sure we don't burn
it the reason why we need to heat this
up instead of just like melting the
butter and then combining everything
together is because we want the sugars
and the cocoa powder to kind of dissolve
otherwise if you don't heat it all up
and what's gonna happen is it's the
texture is gonna be really weird gonna
be grainy like sugar grains so let's just go ahead and keep this up also
depending on your cocoa powder you may
need to run it through a sifter or a
sieve first depending on how clumpy it is all right so we're getting bubbles
around the edges it's starting to bubble
here in the middle getting really close
want to make sure to keep stirring all
right and then once it starts to bubble
more right here in the middle let's go
ahead and set the timer for a minute
just keep on stir in then after a minute
let's go ahead and take it off the heat
all right at this point normally you can
just make it all in that same Bowl but
just so it looks a little nicer I'm
going to transfer it over to this glass
bowl add in our vanilla extract stir
that around and we also want to add in
our peanut butter
that was 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
and this is 1/2 cup of peanut butter we
just want to keep stirring this until
the peanut butter gets melted in there
and you could substitute the peanut
butter with almond butter or another nut
butter if you like alright once we have
the peanut butter all in there let's go
ahead and start adding in let's just
well go ahead and add in our oats I just
do most of it at a time out all of it
and these are quick oats but you could
use old-fashioned oats as well
oats as well if you want scrape around
the bowl and that's just a little bit
too liquidy I'm gonna go ahead and add
in the rest just wound up being 3 cups
of oats all right so that's kind of the
consistency that you want
nice bit consistency like that all right
that is ready to go and now we take a sheet pan lined with a silicon mat or
parchment paper or a wax paper and just
take like a tablespoon and plop the cookies whatever size you want to do
alright just let them sit in a cool place until they set completely I'm
gonna go ahead and finish the rest of
these off if you want them to set
quicker put them in a fridge for like
10-15 minutes it doesn't take them
really long to set even at room
temperature but if you're having issues
with them setting go ahead and put them
in the fridge and the way that you till
they're done is they're going to be nice
and dull looking they won't be sticky to
the touch and you can pick it up and it
stays together these are ready to go
alright
and no baked chocolate oatmeal cookies
are done turned out fantastic really
easy to do simple ingredients if I can
do it
you can do it this recipe winds up
making about 24 cookies depending
