Ingredients

  • 60 g Butter, unsalted

  • 200 g Sugar, white

  • 120 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 25 g Cocoa, powdered, unsweetened

  • 170 g Peanut butter, smooth, without salt

  • 1 spoon Vanilla, extract, imitation

  • 240 g Oat bran, raw

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

Steps

  1. In a saucepan, add butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Place it on the stove and slowly heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter melts. Once the mixture comes to a boil, cook it without stirring for 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract.

  2. Stir the cereal and salt into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the cereal to absorb the liquid.

  3. While the mixture is resting, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a spoon to scoop the prepared mixture and place it in mounds on the prepared baking sheets. Leave a few centimeters of space between the mounds, and if desired, you can slightly flatten them with the back of the spoon.

  4. Refrigerate the cookies for 1 hour to allow the mixture to set and firm up.
