Healthy No Bake Cookies

Sometimes you need something a little sweet and chocolatey, but don’t want to go all out for lets say  decadent Oreo Fudge! These little Healthy No Bake Cookies do the trick! No refined sugar, but plenty of sweetness from a wholesome natural energy source – honey.

There are so many ways these cookies can be helpful. For instance, If you need something to throw into the kids lunches and don’t want a sugar-filled sweet, this Healthy No Bake Chocolate Cookie is it! The kiddos think they’re getting a treat, but you know they’re munching on something a little more healthy and nutrient dense.

Headed to the park and need something to take along, grab a few of these cookies! They’ll give you and the kids energy to power through the rest of the afternoon.

For my kids, these are just called “Healthy Cookies” and they eat them up!

Oh, did I mention these no bake cookies also contain delicious creamy peanut butter? So you have that chocolate/peanut butter thing going on…which is like the best combo. Ever!

How To Make Healthy No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe comes together pretty quickly in one pot. Yep, you just need a medium pot and you start adding your ingredients. Before you start, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat and set aside. Then, add your almond milk to your pot – I used unsweetened almond milk.

Then, cocoa powder and some chocolate morsels. Finally, add your coconut oil.

You bring these ingredients to a boil. Turn off and immediately and add your instant oats, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and finally your honey.

Now, mix everything together and you’re ready to place your cookies on a baking sheet or silicone baking mat (this is my favorite for everything I bake) with your cookie scoop.

You can either keep them in their scoop from, or flatten out the mounds to look more like a traditional cookie, it’s up to you.

Tips for Making Healthy No Bake Chocolate Cookies

• These No Bake Cookies are best when they have a little time to chill in the fridge, but you can definitely start munching right away if you want 🙂
• If you don’t want to use almond milk, you can substitute another type of milk (coconut, soy, etc.)
• Dark chocolate is amazing this this recipe, but you can use semi-sweet if you prefer.
• Use instant oats, as old fashioned oats can be too firm and make the cookies to chewy.
• To make these Chocolate No Bake Cookies gluten-free, use gluten-free oats.
• For us, using creamy peanut butter is best, but if you’re a chunky fan, that works too!
• The cookies will keep in an airtight container (layered between sheets of wax or parchment paper) in the refrigerator for a week or more.

Medium Pot – a non-stick pot is a necessity in the kitchen. I use it every day!

Silpat Baking Mat  – hands down, one of the most used items in my kitchen! If you want perfect cookies (crispy edges, soft inside), this is what you need to use!

Cookie Scoop – I love the ease of use of using a cookie scoop. Evenly proportioned cookies every time! Plus, it works for anything you need to get into a cupcake pan (muffins, etc.)

Notes

These cookies do best if they are refrigerated – they will soften up at room temperature (still yummy, just slightly messier).

The cookies will keep in a airtight container (layered between sheets of wax or parchment paper) in the refrigerator for a week or more.
