These no-bake oatmeal cookies are the easiest, healthiest dessert you’ll ever make! With just three ingredients and ready in under five minutes, they’re completely free of butter, milk, and refined sugar.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cups rolled oats Can use quick oats
    • 1 cup peanut butter * See notes
    • 1/3 cup maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup chocolate chips of choice optional

    Instructions

    • Line a large plate with parpchment paper and set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, add all your ingredients and mix well, until combined. Fold through your mix-ins of choice.
    • Using your hands, form into 12 small balls and place on the lined plate. Press each ball into a cookie shape.
    • Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, before enjoying.

    Notes

     Can substitute this for smooth almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini.

     

    TO STORE: Leftover no bake cookies should be stored in the refrigerator, covered. They will keep well for up to two weeks. 

     

    TO FREEZE: Either wrap cookies individually in parchment paper and place in a ziplock bag, or place them all together in one ziplock bag (no parchment paper needed). They will keep well frozen for up to 6 months. 

     

     

     

    Keep it vegan. While the original recipe is naturally vegan, if you opt to use honey as the sweetener, some consider that not to be vegan-friendly.

     

    Keep it gluten-free. I used certified gluten-free oats. If you use other brands or makes of it, this is often not the case.

     

    Swap out the peanut butter. If you have a peanut allergy or don’t like the taste of peanut butter, you can use almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini.

     

    Add protein. Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make these cookies even more satisfying (just like in classic protein cookies).
