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.

Healthy Chocolate No Bakes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (20g)
- 2 cups quick oats (180g) (For keto, try these Fat Bombs)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or allergy friendly sub (120g)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (48g)
- optional 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional handful mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut
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

Everyone, stop what you’re doing and make these! I just made these and WOW they are amazing! I used 1/4 cup sugar and I think if I make them again I will reduce by another tablespoon. They are really sweet for my taste. They would be sooo delicious with peanut butter, too! 🙂 I didn’t have baking soda and they were fine without.
These are so quick! It probably took me longer to read the ingredients and recipe through to make sure I had everything in, I started to think I had missed something out. They taste amazing, thank you
yum i can’t wait to try these, Thanks!!
Can I make these without coffee?
The flavor obviously would be a little different (just chocolate rather than mocha), but I’m sure they’d still be yummy! You could even use decaf instant coffee if you’re worried about caffeine more than coffee flavor.
I just don’t like coffee flavor! Thanks!
Many of the above comments claim to have replaced the coffee with cinnamon. I bet it would be pretty good. Worth a try 😉
Thanks!
i love this, i have been look for a no bake cookie that didn’t involve peanuts and it has been tough! but i really wanna try these! thank you!
If you haven’t already tried them, I highly recommend her Samoas Fudge Babies, too (no bake, no nuts)! 🙂
These cookies are MUCH better baked. I followed the no-bake recipe, and the dough would not even hold together if rolled into a ball, so I baked them at 350 F for around 8-10 minutes and they came out great.
Anyone made these yet with a different kind of flour subbed for oat flour?
made these today and they are well, *insert drool* yum. just wanted to let you know that i posted my pics and a link to your recipe on my fb page. i gave proper credit. thanks for your fantastic recipes. with an active 2 year old i am ALL FOR anything QUICK and DELISH!! best, ~jordyn

Thank you, Jordyn!
Wow, these are divine. I’m on a calorie restricted diet at the moment so trying to find satisfying yet healthy desserts is difficult.
These are exactly what I need. I’ve tweaked it for what I’ve got at home, got 12 cookies at 92 calories each.
Why do you need baking soda if this is a no-bake recipe?
I haven’t been on here for a while. Stupid college. JK. I need to get back to it though! These look awesome and a lot of your recipes are college friendly which is good because I really miss making my own stuff.
These are amazing! I tweaked it just a little – I only used 2 tbsp of sugar, and I used applesauce instead of oil. Worked perfectly!
Whoops, also I left out the coffee.
I don’t have a food processor or special flours so I use white flour to make this (I wouldn’t even have that but a friend left some at my apartment once haha).Instant coffee is expensive so I don’t use tht either an sub peppermint extract. Nevertheless, these are great! I make small batches for myself using a food scale so I can eat it all at once 😀
Made these yesterday, and as it was only 20 degrees outside, I baked them. Soooo good. Try them baked. Right out of the oven. I literally hid them from my kids so they could be all mine.
Hi, I tried these cookie bites today and I think they came out so so good ….I did how ever sub a few things,omit an ingredient and added an ingredient as well lol … I used a 5 calorie stevia-sugar blend (8 tsp) as the sweetner and used apple sauce instead of oil. I also left out the coffee bc I was giving it to my young kids.. And I added 1/4 cup slice chopped almonds. I got 17 bite size balls … Yum yum yum! Thank you
