Ingredients

Instructions

Recipe: Healthy No Bake Cookies

Healthy no bake cookies made with half the amount of sugar in traditional no bake cookies and coconut oil instead of butter. Dairy-free, vegan and refined sugar free.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add melted coconut oil and almond 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 almond 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 almond butter cocoa mixture. Stir until well combined.

  • 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.

Notes

  • No oil version: I’ve also made this recipe with a mashed banana in place of the coconut oil. The cookies will turn out  a little bit more dry without the coconut oil, but still yummy.
  • Sugar: You can use granulated sugar instead of coconut sugar, but you will definitely want to heat the peanut butter cocoa mixture to dissolve the sugar.

These are the ultimate flourless brownies made with a cashew butter base, no refined sugar, no butter, and of course, no flour!

Ingredients

Wet

  • 1 cup creamy cashew butter, unsalted (if you’re using salted, omit additional salt from recipe)
  • 2 eggs, large
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

Instructions

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350ºF and spray a 9×9 inch cake pan with coconut oil cooking spray.
  2. Place wet ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined. Then, add dry ingredients to wet and mix until combined. Your batter should have a cookie dough consistency (it should be thick!).
  3. Transfer dough into a 9×9-inch pan and use your fingers or a spatula to evenly spread out onto the pan. If you notice that there is a lot of oil on the top of your dough, this is normal! Simply use a piece of paper towel to blot as much of it off it as possible.
