3 Ingredient No Bake Coconut Cookies
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp mashed bananas
56 g
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
64 g
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
55 g
Directions
- 1
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a medium mixing bowl, add mashed bananas and peanut butter. Stir with a spatula until banana is fully incorporated into the peanut butter and your mixture becomes a thick paste. The paste should be able to pull away the sides of the mixing bowl.
- 3
Stir in coconut until it is evenly incorporated and a cookie dough forms.
- 4
Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and place onto the cookie sheet, spacing the balls about 1 inch apart. Press down on each dough ball until it forms a round disk. Cookies will not change shape so shape them as you would like your final cookies to be.
- 5
Place cookies in fridge for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to set. The cookies will not change much during refrigeration. They will only become firm enough to hold without the cookies losing their form. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge until ready to consume.

About this Recipe
Craving a quick, satisfying treat that's both delicious and incredibly simple to make? These 3 Ingredient No Bake Coconut Cookies are your answer, delivering soft, chewy bites with minimal effort and no oven required.
The magic of this recipe lies in its elegant simplicity and ingenious use of just three core ingredients: mashed bananas, natural peanut butter, and shredded coconut. Together, they create a wonderfully soft and chewy texture without the need for flour, eggs, or even added oil. It's a testament to how whole ingredients can come together to form a truly delightful snack or dessert.
Prepare for a delightful experience that balances the natural sweetness of banana with the rich, nutty notes of peanut butter, all enveloped in the satisfying chewiness of coconut. Each bite offers a comforting taste and a tender texture that makes these cookies feel more indulgent than their simple ingredient list suggests. They are wonderfully soft, holding together beautifully despite their no-bake nature, making them an ideal treat when you need something quick, wholesome, and utterly delicious.
Customization & Variations
While the three ingredients create a perfect harmony, you have room for personal touches. For a different flavor profile, you could experiment with other natural nut butters like almond or cashew butter in place of the peanut butter, ensuring they are smooth and natural to maintain the right consistency. When it comes to shredded coconut, you can choose between finely shredded or a slightly coarser variety depending on your preferred texture, though the recipe specifies just "shredded coconut" to keep it straightforward.
These no-bake wonders are perfect for a quick energy boost, a delightful after-dinner treat, or an easy snack to pack in lunchboxes. Serve them alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy moment, or simply enjoy them on their own whenever a sweet craving strikes. Their simplicity makes them suitable for any occasion, from casual family gatherings to a quiet evening in.
