A delightful no-bake treat combining chocolatey goodness with wholesome ingredients.
In a medium saucepan, combine the skim milk, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil, stirring frequently.
Boil for about 1 minute to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter and pure vanilla extract until smooth.
Ensure the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the ground flax seeds and quick oatmeal to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
Mix quickly before the mixture begins to set.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper, shaping them into clusters.
Work quickly as the mixture will start to firm up.
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Refrigerating helps the clusters set faster and gives them a firmer texture.
