Thanks a lot everybody for the anniversary wishes. I'm still not in the mood to bake/blog but my DH is constantly nagging me to start blogging regularly. So I once again went back to the Eagle brand book for a simple "no-bake" recipe.
Found a no bake cookies recipe for peanut butter drops made with peanut butter, chopped peanuts, condensed milk and quick cooking oats. I made something similar a year back and remembered that my son did not like it.
So I substituted peanuts with almonds and peanut butter and almond butter. And guess what? my son can't stop eating them. This no bake cookies take only 10-15 minutes to prepare this but it is unbelievably delicious.
Ingredients
- Butter or Margarine - ½ cup (1 stick)
- Unsweetened Cocoa - ⅓ cup
- Quick Cooking Oats - 2 and ½ cups
- Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 can (14 oz/300 ml)
- Chopped Almonds - 1 cup
- Almond Butter - ½ cup
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
2. Stir in cocoa powder to the melted butter.
3. Mix both cocoa powder and butter using a whisk. Bring mixture to a boil.
4. Remove from heat. Add oats.
5. Add the can of condensed milk.
6. Add the chopped almonds.
7. Add the almond butter.
8. Line 2 baking sheets with a wax paper. I sprayed a half tablespoon with non stick cooking spray, scooped out the mixture and dropped onto the baking sheets. Chill 2 hours or until set. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
9. You can either leave it as it is or shape them into balls. After about 30 minutes in the fridge, the mixture will be in the right texture to shape it. Put it back in the refrigerator for another 2 hours or until it firms up.

Eswari says
Hi Madhuram,
First let me tell you how wonderful your site is and with loads of creative recipes for endless blogers like me.
I really like to try Almond Butter & Oat Cookies but I don't think we get almond butter in Melbourne. Is there any other option?
Do pls let me know.
Thanks. Eswari
Thank you very much Eswari. I think you would get it in organic/specialty food stores. Otherwise you can make it with peanut butter.

These look so good Madhu, I have to try these as soon as I get a chance! Happy belated anniversary 🙂 And good to know you are settling well in Canada, I'm sure you will get used to all the things that aren't there!

Namaste Madhu. You know, we do have lots of chocolate graham crumbs here in Canada, and sorry to hear you find it a difficult adjustment. Our country is vast and beautiful, take some time, and explore, you'll see there's a lot more to be offered in Canada than the American media would portray. Try your US Walmart up here, they have baking crumbs, maybe you'll feel more at home...
Thank you very much Theresa. Actually I do like Canada, because I have lived in Winnipeg back in 2005 for about 16 months. I really was expecting the move, but sometimes the initial period is a bit tough. You always tend to compare with the previous place.

Hey Madhu how r ?Did Arjun like the new place?Oat cookies looks yummy and healthy
I'm fine Vrinda. See it did not strike me to get your email ID from here. Will send you a detailed mail.

Well...there r lots of products that u won't be able to find in canada..for eg. ener g egg replacer or grits...I guess it's just that US is a bigger market so they have more variety...Next time u plan a trip across the border do ur speciality grocery shopping...that's what I do 🙂
I somewhat guessed about EnerG and got some from there.

And happy settling down!
DK says
Great to see you back madhu 🙂
Actually we went to Vancouver last year and the downtown was horrible, esp the ppl! As of now I have no great memories of the place although since its similar to Seattle weather I was ok......I got some good whole grains not v easily available in my local stores - so that was one good point to remember there....yes I heard about free medical expenses ( but they make sure they collect it by way of taxes!!) anyways..
Have u settled down? - heard from Dee about schools and accom. If u have skype -lets do a con cal sometime..
Now dee is also too bc - u know - for the obvious reasons...between you two its going to b hell getting a concal together! LOL 🙂
Kisses to arjun...hugs to u
Did you move too? I saw it in your blog. The new blog layout is really awesome DK. Wish you had the comments section in the about page. Will call you and Dee after getting a calling card.
