  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Boil for exactly 1 minute, continuing to stir constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats, and 1/2 cup peanut butter.
  5. Mix thoroughly until well combined and the mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto wax paper or parchment paper.
