To say these are “not your momma’s No-Bakes” is probably an understatement. And, well, in my case, my momma wasn’t the one making them in our house growing up, it was my sister. While I can give her credit for perfecting her skills, this version contains much less butter and granulated sugar. By much less, I mean none. This recipes contains neither of those ingredients and yet still delivers on all the gooey, decadent, and delicious notes we know and love about No-Bakes.
So here it is. Seven clean, natural ingredients yielding a scrumptious treat you don’t have to feel bad about. Did I mention it only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish? Sign. Me. Up.
Clean Eating No-Bake Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. peanut butter or other nut butter of choice
- 1/4 c. coconut oil
- 1/4 c. pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 c. rolled oats
Instructions
-
Melt the Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil, and Maple Syrup together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula to prevent the bottom from scorching.
-
Once melted, turn off the heat and add the Vanilla, Salt and Cocoa Powder. Mix thoroughly to combine and be sure there are no clumps of cocoa.
-
Stir in the Oats. Stir to coat evenly, but don't over mix or your cookies could become dry.
-
Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to portion into 1.5"-2" cookies on a Silpat or parchment paper. They will firm as they cool, but are equally delicious when warm!
-
Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
