Vegan No-Bake Cookies: A Quick and Easy Healthy Treat
These vegan no-bake cookies are a quick, easy, and healthy no-bake dessert that's completely dairy-free. Made with wholesome ingredients like almond butter and oats, they’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while keeping it vegan and hassle-free!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond butter or natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 ¾ cups rolled oats (see our tip below for a gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond butter (or peanut butter), brown sugar, coconut oil, and almond milk. Stir frequently until the coconut oil and sugar have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Let the mixture cool slightly so it’s easier to handle.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each scoop into a round cookie, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until the cookies are firm. Then, dig in and enjoy!
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use oats specifically labeled as “gluten-free” to avoid cross-contamination. Customize by adding vegan chocolate chips or shredded coconut for extra flavor.
