This is one of the easiest recipes you can make and you likely already have all the ingredients in your pantry. The chocolate mixture has a near brownie batter flavor and mixed with the oats, makes for the perfect chew and quick bite. Plus it’s no bake! They also make a ton, so once they’re ready you can easily chuck some in the freezer for a yummy future treat.
Equipment
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Medium Pot
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup milk
- ¾ cup butter
- 5 cups of oats
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Stir vanilla extract into the cocoa mixture.
- Place your oats in a bowl and pour your cocoa mixture over them. If your pot is big enough, you can also just add your oats to the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine
- Using a tablespoon, drop two tablespoons per ball onto a piece of parchment paper. You may need to use your fingers to bring the “ball” together (it will likely look more like a cluster)
- Allow to cool completely at room temperature. They should be firm and easily peel from the parchment paper once they are ready.
