This is a healthier version of the no-bake cookies we all know and love. Lots of cocoa, more oatmeal (we use regular instead of the quick-cook kind for even more oaty texture), and less sugar and butter make us feel a little less guilty for indulging!

  • Stir in oats thoroughly and drop by spoonfuls (I use a small cookie scoop) onto waxed paper. Cool thoroughly before removing from paper.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie; quick-cooking oats will make a softer cookie.
  • If you don't have almond butter, you can use another nut butter, such as peanut butter or cashew butter.
  • You can add in other mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, raisins, or dried cranberries.
  • If you want a sweeter cookie, you can add more honey or maple syrup.
  • Be sure to chill the cookies for at least 30 minutes before serving, this will help them set and make them easier to handle.

These no-bake oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
