Healthy No Bake Oatmeal Cookies
From tuilelaith 3 years agoIngredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter unsweetened shopping list
- 6 tbsp maple syrup or more as needed shopping list
- 1 3/4 cups rolled oats shopping list
- 1/3 cup dried fruit or chocolate chips optional shopping list
How to make it
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add peanut butter and syrup.
- Place into microwave and heat for about 20 seconds.
- Remove and stir with a spatula until evenly combined.
- Continue to microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until the peanut butter thickens and becomes like a paste.
- This should take between 1 min 20 seconds to 2 minutes.
- You can also heat the mixture on the stove.
- Add in oats and stir until all oats are moistened and evenly mixed.
- If using dried fruit, stir in the dried fruit.
- If using chocolate chips, do not add them yet because they will melt.
- Scoop out 2 tbsp dough and roll it between your palms to form a compact ball.
- Place ball onto prepared baking sheet and press down to flatten into a thick round disk.
- Repeat with remaining dough.
- If you plan on adding chocolate chips, press a few into the surface of each disk.
- You may need to reshape the cookies again if any of the oats become loose from the chips being pressed in.
- Place cookie sheet into freezer and freeze until cookies are firm (30 to 60 minutes).
- You can leave the cookies in there longer as well and just bring them to room temperature for a few minutes before eating.
- Store uneaten cookies at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge or freezer if you want to store them longer.

- Notes:
- *Slightly adapted from Beaming Baker
- The key to your cookies staying together is your peanut butter paste.
- Make sure to dry out the peanut butter enough so that it becomes a thick paste.
- I tried to make these cookies not too sweet to keep them as healthy as possible. If you prefer something sweeter you can add 2 more tbsp of syrup (so 1/2 cup total).
- Make sure to use a low sodium or unsalted peanut butter to keep the cookies from being too salty. You can use creamy or chunky peanut butter. I used creamy. Chunky will add some more texture to your cookies.
- Nutrition estimate does not include chocolate chips or any mix-ins.
