Healthy No Bake Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter

½ cup pure maple syrup

1 cup old-fashioned, rolled oats

3 tablespoons raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until well mixed.
Heat in 20-second increments in the microwave until warm and fragrant, and the mixture begins to dry out and become fluffy (about 4-7 rounds). Whisk in between heating increments. *Stovetop instructions in Notes.
Add oats and cacao powder to the peanut butter mixture. Stir and fold until thoroughly combined.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Using a fork, flatten cookies to desired thickness.
Chill in the freezer for 15-25 mins, until firm. Enjoy firm, or allow to thaw for 10-15 minutes. Cookies will become soft and chewy at room temperature. Storing instructions below.
