What’s your favorite type of cookie?
My favorite is anything with chocolate or chocolate chips and no oven required.
I am one of those people who likes to eat the raw cookie dough (doesn’t everyone?) and impatiently watches the oven as cookies slowly bake.
In fact, I initially planned on baking these chocolate cookies… but the dough was entirely too good to wait that long!
Ingredients
The recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa powder, oats, peanut butter, pure maple syrup or honey, salt, coconut oil, and optional pure vanilla extract.
Add a handful of mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, or shredded coconut if desired.
You can use either rolled or quick oats. I love them both ways equally, and I’ve made these a lot! The version with rolled oats will have a chewier texture, so it just depends on your own personal preference.
Peanut butter may be swapped with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter.
How to make healthy chocolate no bake cookies
Gather your ingredients, along with a lined baking tray, large plate, or cookie sheet.
Warm the liquid ingredients until they are easily stir-able. You can even do this in a saucepan on the stove if you want to make the entire recipe in one pot.
Stir in remaining ingredients. Chill until firm enough to form into balls or cookie shapes with your hands or a cookie scoop, then place on the lined plate and chill to set.

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or allergy friendly sub (120g)

InstructionsÂ
- Warm the liquid ingredients until easily stir-able. (Feel free to do this in a pot on the stove if you want to make the entire recipe in one pot. Turn off the heat once liquid ingredients are softened.) Stir in remaining ingredients. Chill until firm enough to form into balls or cookie shapes with your hands or a cookie scoop, then place on a wax or parchment-lined plate and chill again to set. I like to refrigerate or freeze leftovers, but they can also be left out in a cool place.View Nutrition Facts

The recipe seems amazing. Can I substitute the chocolate chips with raisins?
Sure!
I substituted the oil for applesauce (which cut the amount of calories and fat significantly!) and 1.5 tbsp of flour for 1.5tbsp of protein powder (chocolate and hazelnut flavor) and they turned out amazing. I’ll definitely repeat a million times!
