Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies
Description
This recipe combines creamy unsalted peanut butter and sweet maple syrup with melted coconut oil for a smooth base. Vanilla extract and sea salt enhance the flavor, while rolled oats provide chew and structure. Mini chocolate chips add bursts of chocolate sweetness. The mixture is portioned on a baking sheet and pressed into disks before chilling overnight, allowing the cookies to set firmly without baking. The result is a soft, chewy texture with a balanced peanut butter and chocolate flavor profile.
Because no heat is applied, the cookies maintain a rich, creamy consistency that highlights the natural peanut butter. They can be enjoyed as a quick snack or a no-fuss dessert option, especially when oven use is impractical.
For best results, natural creamy peanut butter is recommended and sea salt amount can be adjusted especially if using salted peanut butter. Chilling overnight helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the texture.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup peanut butter unsalted, natural, creamy
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sea salt heaping ½ teaspoon
- 2½ cups rolled oats whole
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Add the oats and chocolate chips and stir until combined. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. Use your hands to form into balls and place on the baking sheet, then flatten into disks with your fingers (the disks will become more cohesive as they chill). Chill overnight to allow the cookies to firm up.
Notes
- Adjust sea salt if using salted peanut butter to avoid over-salting; start with half the recommended amount.
- Natural creamy peanut butter works best for the right texture; chunky varieties may alter consistency.
- Chill cookies overnight to allow them to firm up properly before serving.
