This is a modified version of cookies we made all the time when we were kids. Since the oats are uncooked, eat these after your safe SF. I eat them after I've had dinner and I've always been fine.
1/2 C vanilla or plain rice/soy milk (vanilla rice seems to taste best to me)
1 C + 2 T sugar
1/4 C corn syrup (Karo dark is the only kind I've been able to find that does not have HFCS)
4 T cocoa powder
3 T reduced-fat peanut butter
2 t vanilla
4 c uncooked quick oats
Bring milk, sugar, syrup, and cocoa powder to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in PB and vanilla; pour over oats and mix well. Drop by teaspoonsful onto greased cookie sheets and store in refrigerator.

Ooh! These look similar to a much fattier recipe I used to enjoy. I can't wait to make them!

They're not as firm as the no-bakes we're used to, so I don't know if Adam will like them, but *I* sure do... heh.
I did find that the mixture was pretty dry and crumbly, so instead of dropping, I used wet hands and shaped them into cookies. Next time, I think I might decrease the oatmeal a little. I don't know if it's the elevation here or what, but pretty much every recipe I try turns out dry - I have to add water to all of the quick bread recipes, for example.
Anyway. Great recipe redo!

I'm glad you liked them. They are definitely a lot stickier than the original, but I figure that's a small price to pay.
One thing ... the calories from fat in the recipe is 14%. If you omit the corn syrup and use 1/4 C melted margarine, it bumps it up to 27%, which is pretty acceptable for a dessert and should make it firmer and less sticky. Using 1/4 C oil makes it 29%.
