Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies are an easy, quick, and nostalgic dessert made with creamy peanut butter, oats, and a simple stovetop sugar mixture—no oven required! These chewy, sweet cookies come together in minutes and are perfect for satisfying a last-minute craving or sharing at gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or salted, omit extra salt)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup creamy processed peanut butter (e.g., Jif, Skippy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together butter, sugar, and milk until smooth.
  3. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, boil for exactly 60 seconds.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the hot mixture over the oats and stir until fully combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax or parchment paper. Let cool at room temperature until set.

Notes

  • Add-ins: chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, M&Ms, or chopped nuts.
  • For a chocolate-peanut butter twist, stir in cocoa powder or swirl in Nutella.
  • Almond butter or sunflower seed butter can replace peanut butter for allergy-friendly versions.
  • Pulse rolled oats in a food processor if using in place of quick oats.
