No bake cookies Umpa

Stick of Butter
2 Cups sugar
1 / 2 milk
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 peanut butter
2 cups oatmeal
 
You melt a stick of butter, 2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup milk in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil for 1 minute or so, remove from heat and add 1 tsp. of vanilla, 3/4 cup of peanut butter and 2 cups oatmeal. Drop by teaspoons on waxed paper. I think I know how to convert everything except oatmeal .

[umpa]

The oatmeal isn't cooked its raw right?

[joagain]

yes I am not going to tell you what I was thinking about replacing it with . I want to see what you say first  glad your back Umpa we missed you !

[umpa]

The issue is that the oats act like a sponge. I would use crushed nuts or almond meal.You are gonna have a bulk issue too when you reduce the sugar to 3/4 a cup of xylitol.

[Maddysmom]

I will be anxious to see what ya'll come up with.  This same recipe has been one of my favorite treats since I was a kid.  I just figured I had given these up for LIFE!......maybe not?   I LOVE ya'll!!!

[Maddysmom]

Umpa.....I am amazed!   You really are something girl!  Hey, Jo, let us know if you make these.   

[joagain]

Aint she something JAn !!! I always do cut all the recipes in half to see if I like them or in my case when I mess them up I have only wasted a little of the stuff . I have to place another order before I can make them . I will let you know when I do .

Don't No-Bakes use unsweetened cocoa powder, or is this a plain version? The ones I've always made used cocoa.

[Maddysmom]

Yes Rena, I've always made them with Hersheys unsweetened Cocoa powder too.  Never had them plain, but this does appear to be the same recipe except for the chocolate.   

[umpa]

Chocolate??I have to make these now!

[umpa]

How did these turn out Jo?
