How to Make Peanut Butter Cocoa Cookies Easy Bake Oven Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Dash of salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal

Yield

This recipe yields approximately 12 cookies.


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

  1. Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a warming cup (or Easy-Bake pan) and melt it for 3 minutes in the warming area of your Easy-Bake Oven.
  2. Mix in Cocoa: Once the butter is melted, stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. Add Sugar and Milk: Add the sugar, milk, and a dash of salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
  4. Add Flavor and Texture: Mix in the vanilla extract and peanut butter, stirring until creamy. Finally, add the uncooked oatmeal and blend until everything is well coated and sticky.

Step 2: Shape the Cookies

  1. Form the Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and shape them into 12 individual cookies.
  2. Let Cool: Arrange the cookies on a plate and allow them to cool completely, either in the fridge or at room temperature, so they firm up.

No-Bake Options for Easy-Bake Ovens

For Classic Easy-Bake Oven (Light Bulb Model)

  • Use the warming area of the Easy-Bake Oven to melt the butter, but since this is a no-bake recipe, you won’t need to “bake” the cookies. Let them cool on a plate until they’re set.

For Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven (Electric Model)

  • The Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven can also warm up the butter for you, but you can skip the baking step and let the cookies cool on a plate.

Fun Tips and Variations

  • Add a Crunchy Coating: Roll each cookie in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles before letting them set for a fun coating.
  • Drizzle Chocolate: For an extra chocolatey twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the top after they’ve cooled.
  • Mini Chocolate Chips: Stir in a tablespoon of mini chocolate chips to make these cookies even more irresistible!

Why This Recipe is Great for Kids

This recipe is simple and no-bake, so kids can easily mix and shape the cookies themselves. The easy steps make it a fantastic recipe for young chefs to gain confidence in the kitchen while enjoying a tasty reward.

Fun Facts About Oatmeal

  • Oatmeal’s Rise to Popularity: Once a breakfast staple, oatmeal is now a versatile ingredient in baking and treats for its chewy texture and natural sweetness.
  • Perfect for No-Bake Treats: Since oats don’t need to be cooked, they’re ideal for quick, no-bake recipes like these cookies.
