No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
These healthy No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are chewy, rich in chocolate and coconut flavors, and full of protein thanks to peanut butter or any other type of nut butter! You will love how effortless and simple these cookies are! Vegan option included!
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk any type
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- 3 cups quick oats gluten-free if needed
- ½ cup nut butter
Instructions
- Add the milk to a saucepan over medium-low heat and warm it for a couple of minutes.
- Add the coconut oil, vanilla, cocoa powder, honey, and whisk well until no visible lumps. Let the cocoa milk simmer for 4-6 minutes.
- Next, add in the quick oats, peanut butter and mix well to combine. Let it cool for a few minutes, until ready to handle.
- Take a spoonful of mixture and, using your clean hands, shape your cookies into 2.5 - inch discs. You should have about 16 cookies.
- Place them on a parchment paper-lined board or sheet pan and let the cookies set before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and dairy-free milk.
- Be sure to blend the oats in a blender if using old-fashioned oats.
- Feel free to use flax milk, coconut, almond, soy, cashew, or dairy milk.
- The warmer the kitchen, the longer it will take for the cookies to set. You can place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for four days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
