    These no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies need less than 3 minutes to be made. They are made with quick oats, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. These healthy oatmeal cookies are egg-free, nut-free, and you can also make them dairy-free if you want (check the tips below).

    These no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies are such addictive treats, especially when having them with a cup of milk.

    Top Tips:

    You can use either quick oats or whole oats in making these cookies. Both will work fine.

    I prefer to use creamy peanut butter in this recipe. However, if you want to use crunch peanut putter go ahead.

    Use a measuring spoon or dough scoop to have the perfectly sized cookies.

    These oat cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months in a well-sealed container.

    You can replace granulated sugar with brown sugar or coconut sugar.

    Don't use ghee instead of butter. Using ghee will affect the taste and texture of these cookies badly.

    Can I make these oat cookies dairy-free?

    Yes, you can. Just replace the milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk and replace the butter with coconut oil and you will have the best dairy-free oatmeal cookies ever.
