3 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
These easy no bake oatmeal cookies make a great snack. They don't contain any flour, eggs, added sugar or oil. They are quick to make and store well.
Ingredients
- 1 packed cup (165 g) pitted medjool dates
- 1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (44 g) quick oats
Directions
- 1
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Add dates to food processor and blend until a paste forms. If your dates are a little old and no longer super soft, you should soak your dates first before using them to rehydrate them. See notes for further explanation. If you are using a newly opened package of dates you should not need to soak them.

Add in peanut butter and oats. Blend until a thick dough forms and ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop dough and place onto prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Press down on each dough ball with the palm of your hand so that it forms a thick round disk (about 1/2 inch thick). This will be the final shape of your cookie so smooth the edges and reshape as needed.

Cookies can be eaten as is. However, I recommend placing them into the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour which will help them firm up and will let the oats soften.
