These Healthy No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies are a great vegan breakfast cookie recipe with a combo of peanut butter, oatmeal, and cocoa.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted) (natural, creamy, fresh jar)
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil (melted (measure melted!))
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Quick-cooking Oats (also called instant oats*)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Finely Chopped Almonds

Directions

  1. 1

    Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium-size saucepan, add fresh creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Heat under medium heat, stirring constantly to combine and form a consistent mixture.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and stir in cocoa powder, quick-cooking oats, and chopped almonds - if used. Stir until fully combined and cookie dough form.

  5. 5

    Scoop some batter with a tablespoon, then transfer it onto the prepared cookie sheet. Press the top of the cookie with the back of a spoon to gently flatten and shape the oatmeal chocolate cookie.

  6. 6

    Repeat these steps until no more cookie dough is left.

  7. 7

    Freeze the cookie sheet for 10 minutes to set the cookies, then refrigerate the cookies in an airtight container.

  8. 8

    Store up to 7 days in a sealed box in the fridge. After that time, the no-bake cookies are still tasty but get sticky as some moisture goes in.
