Chocolate Oat Instant Cookies

Chocolate Oat Cookies on Baking Tray

My boys are loving these little no-bake chocolate oat cookies aka “instant” cookies. And to be honest, so am I. The wickedness lies in the fact that they only take like 10 minutes to make, start to finish. And then they are easy to eat of course.

It’s the perfect recipe to get kids baking together, the ingredient list is basic and they get to see the finished product quickly. If you are not a peanut butter fan, then you could try any other nut butter including Nutella (wicked level 100). And if oats are not your thing, you can easily substitute them for Rice Crispies or Cornflakes. So the recipe provides a wondrous level of flexibility.
