Summer heat brings one thing to mind when I’m in the kitchen, and that is not having to use my oven.
That’s why I love this super-easy cookie recipe that uses just the stovetop for a few minutes. These cookies are so easy to whip up, and since there is no baking, these treats invite your kids into the kitchen to help.
Rolled oats are combined with creamy peanut butter, cocoa powder and crushed pretzels for these easy, no-oven-required cookies. They’re great for snacking, kids’ lunchboxes or as a quick sweet fix while entertaining.

- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1-1/4 cups organic brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-natural, creamy peanut butter

Directions:
- In a small pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add in the almond milk, cocoa powder and brown sugar, and bring to a boil.
- Boil the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes while stirring frequently.
