These no bake, gluten-free cookies are made with chocolate, peanut butter and oats. I eat them when I crave something sweet as one cookie is only 74 calories.

Combine butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa in a small pot and heat on low until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
Add the peanut butter and vanilla to the chocolate mixture and mix until well combined. Add oats and mix again until the oats are coated. You may need to use your hands and/or a spoon to incorporate everything well.
Use slightly wet hands to form about 35 small cookies. Roll into mini balls, then slightly flatten each ball into a round cookie.
Place each cookie on parchment paper and cool in the fridge before enjoying.
Notes
*I have made these with ZenSweet Monk Fruit Sweetener and they taste identical only with no added sugar.Store no-bake gluten-free cookies in a zip top bag in your fridge. They will last for several days and still taste great.Be sure to use gluten-free labeled oats. While oats are naturally gluten free, they are cross contaminated with wheat during the growing and harvesting. Only labeled and/or certified gluten-free oats should be used. I recommend Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Quick Cook Oats.These cookies are meant to be mini cookies, so shape them into about 35 balls and flatten. You could make them larger cookies as well.
