Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy milk
  • ¼ cup vegan butter
  • ¼ cup refined coconut oil
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients and sugar: In a saucepan, add the soy milk, vegan butter, coconut oil, granulated sugar, and cacao powder. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until it comes to a rolling boil.
  2. Boil and remove from heat: Let the mixture boil gently for 1 minute while continuously stirring to ensure even heating and proper sugar dissolution. Then, remove the saucepan from the heat source.
  3. Add peanut butter and remaining ingredients: Stir the peanut butter thoroughly into the hot mixture until smooth and fully incorporated. Following that, mix in the vanilla extract, old-fashioned oats, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
  4. Shape the cookies and cool: Using a spoon, drop portions of the mixture onto wax paper or foil that has been lightly greased with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Shape into cookies of your preferred size.
  5. Allow to set: Let the cookies cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes so they can firm up and hold their shape before serving.

Notes

  • Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor, so the cookies taste balanced.
  • You can substitute soy milk with any other plant-based milk of choice.
  • For firmer cookies, refrigerate after cooling for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Adjust the size of the cookies according to your preference; smaller cookies will set faster.
  • Ensure continuous stirring during boiling to prevent burning or sticking to the pan.
