Healthy No Bake Cookies

This no-bake cookie recipe combines melted coconut oil, peanut butter, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, almond milk, and instant oats to create chocolate-flavored snacks that set in the fridge. The mixture is easy to prepare and forms firm cookies after chilling, offering a sweet treat without baking. Variations include substituting mashed banana for coconut oil for a drier texture or using granulated sugar in place of coconut sugar when heating the mixture to dissolve it thoroughly.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup coconut oil melted
  • ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter, natural creamy
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 2 cups instant oats also called quick oats

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add melted coconut oil and peanut butter in a medium mixing bowl and stir until combined. Add coconut sugar, cocoa powder, almond milk, sea salt, vanilla.
  2. If desired you can heat the peanut butter cocoa mixture on the stovetop over medium low heat to fully dissolve the coconut sugar, about 5-6 minutes. Sometimes I do this and sometimes I don't. Depends on how much time I have.
  3. Add oats to a large mixing bowl and top with peanut butter cocoa mixture. Stir until well combined.
  4. Using a small/medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands to press the dough down a bit and form the cookies into a cookie shape.
  5. Place baking sheet in fridge until cookies are set, then serve. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Notes

  • For a no oil version, replace coconut oil with mashed banana, though cookies will be slightly drier.
  • Heating the peanut butter and cocoa mixture before combining helps dissolve coconut sugar for a smoother texture.
  • Granulated sugar can substitute coconut sugar but requires heating to fully dissolve.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks to maintain freshness.
