This is the nutritious no-bake chocolate cookies recipe. Do you want chocolate cookies right now, but don’t have much time and want a nutritious option? If that’s you, I’ve got you! These cookies are super easy, nutritious, and quick. They also have no uncommon ingredients.
No Uncommon Ingredients?
When I say that these cookies have no uncommon ingredients, I mean that they’re made of pantry staples that most people have. There’s nothing in this recipe that requires a trip to the store, which is great for when you want a cookie right now!
How to Make These Cookies
Now that you know what I mean when I say, “No Uncommon Ingredients,” we can move on! Here, I’ll give you a detailed guide on how to make these cookies!
Prep
Before I mix anything on the stove when I make these cookies, I like to prep. I prepare a mixing bowl with peanut butter and oats, and I prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step makes things easier and more efficient later.
The Chocolate Mixture
After prep, mix coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir it continuously until it comes to a rolling boil. Take it off the heat, add the vanilla, and pour this chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl with the peanut butter and oats that you prepared. Mix it until fully combined.
As you can see, prepping makes things a lot easier! If you don’t prep the mixing bowl with peanut butter and oats, the chocolate mixture could cool down before you mix in the other ingredients.
Scooping, Cooling, Serving, and Storing
Using a cookie scoop or a regular spoon, scoop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This recipe gave me twelve cookies, but you could get more or fewer depending on how big your cookie scoop is.
Let these cool in the fridge or freezer until firm. I like using the freezer because the cookies set up faster. To serve, take a cookie from the baking sheet and enjoy! To store, store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. I wouldn’t recommend leaving these cookies out at room temperature because they will get soft.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup? I’ve never tried it, so tell me how it goes! I guess that the texture will be thicker and gooier. It may also take longer to boil.
What can I use instead of peanut butter? You can use almond butter, sunbutter, or any other nut butter!
What type of oats should I use? I use quick oats, but you can use old-fashioned oats for a coarser texture.
How long do these keep for? If you keep them in the fridge, they can last for up to a week. You can freeze them for a month.
Can I add chocolate chips? Of course you can! Press chocolate chips onto each cookie before freezing them.
