Healthier No Bake Cookies I Food

HEALTHIER NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix sugar, cocoa, milk and salt in saucepan; boil for one minute.
• Add peanut butter, butter, and vanilla to hot mixture; stir until combined.
• Stir in oats thoroughly and drop by spoonfuls (I use a small cookie scoop) onto waxed paper. Cool thoroughly before removing from paper.
• (Note: the new nasty-tasting flaxseed peanut butters taste just fine in this recipe; add that and increase the healthiness even more!).

HEALTHY NO-BAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Note: You can use regular peanut butter - but of course, that will make your cookies reduced sugar rather than sugar free.
• Combine first four ingredients in a sauce pan and warm gently on stove top.*
• Next, add in the vanilla, oatmeal, and stir well.
• Drop by the spoonful onto a saran lined plate and let cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator - if they last that long.
• Enjoy!

HEALTHY NO BAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Add melted coconut oil and peanut butter in a medium mixing bowl and stir until combined. Add coconut sugar, cocoa powder, almond milk, sea salt, vanilla.
• If desired you can heat the peanut butter cocoa mixture on the stovetop over medium low heat to fully dissolve the coconut sugar, about 5-6 minutes. Sometimes I do this and sometimes I don't. Depends on how much time I have.
• Add oats to a large mixing bowl and top with peanut butter cocoa mixture. Stir until well combined.
• Using a small/medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands to press the dough down a bit and form the cookies into a cookie shape.
• Place baking sheet in fridge until cookies are set, then serve. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

HEALTHIER NO BAKE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix sugar, milk, and cocoa powder together in a saucepan; bring to a boil and cook at a boil for 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat and stir peanut butter, applesauce, and vanilla extract into the hot mixture until smooth. Add oats and stir until evenly mixed.
• Drop oats mixture by spoonful onto waxed paper. Cool completely before removing from paper, at least 20 minutes.

HEALTHY NO BAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat milk, sugar and cocoa powder over high heat until boiling, stirring constantly.
• Take off heat and stir in vanilla and peanut butter; stir until peanut butter has melted completely.
• Stir in wheat germ and oatmeal.
• Drop by large spoonfuls onto wax paper or eat immediately.
• *As I noted above, this recipe is VERY flexible. If you don't have wheat germ or flax seed, just use more oatmeal. The recipe above should work out just perfectly and does most of the time, but if your cookies come out crumbly, use less oatmeal next time. If they never set, use more oatmeal next time.
