Step 1

Line a counter or two cookie sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 2

Add the sugar, cocoa, vegan butter and almond milk to a medium pot over low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the butter melts, then increase the heat to medium. Stir constantly and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 minute exactly, then remove from heat and keep stirring for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter and vanilla and stir until combined well. Stir in the oats until they are coated in the mixture.

Step 4

Drop the mixture by about 2 tablespoons each onto prepared parchment/wax paper. You can leave them rounded at the top, or flatten them slightly if you prefer.

Step 5

Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before serving, until they are hardened. Serve and enjoy!
