No Bake Cookies with Oatmeal

Got an event coming up? Need to bring a sweet treat that still tastes awesome when it’s made allergen-free? These chocolate almond butter cookies can be easily made gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan … plus, they’re no-bake!

What makes a good cookie? Let’s think for a moment …

A good cookie has to be delicious, of course. And easy to make. And, in my opinion, you should always try to make your cookies enjoyable for the biggest number of people possible. A good cookie is something everyone can love without worrying.

If you consider all these proper criteria for a good cookie, then my Salted Almond Butter No-Bake Cookies totally fit the bill! They’re good cookies, y’all!

First of all, they taste amazing. They’re no-bake chocolate cookies, too, and only require an hour to chill in the fridge. Finally, though you can make them with regular dairy products and oats, I’ve found that they actually taste better with almond milk, vegan butter, and gluten-free oats.

Who said that diet-friendly treats had to be boring and difficult to put together? Not me!! 

This recipe is perfect if you have to make a lot of cookies for someone you know who has special dietary needs. I’ve also found these chocolate almond butter cookies are wonderful to bring to an event where you don’t know the people well – someone is bound to thank you for it!

Of course, you can also just make them for your family, just because. They taste that good and don’t require you to go out of your way very much. In fact, you can eat them all yourself if you’d like. I won’t tell. 😉

Salted Almond Butter No-Bake Cookies: Ingredients & Substitutions

To make these Salted Almond Butter Cookies, you will need …

Ingredients

  • coconut sugar, cacao powder – your dry mix! The coconut sugar doesn’t make these cookies taste like sugar, by the way, but it does give them a different kind of sweetness you wouldn’t get from normal sugar. You’ll see what I mean – it’s delicious!
  • milk and unsalted butte – I singled these two ingredients out to let you know you can choose vegan options here and the cookies will taste just as good, if not better, than the non-vegan variety!! In particular, I tend to use almond milk and Miyoko’s brand vegan butter.
  • almond butter – make sure the ingredients list only almonds.
  • vanilla extract – standard in most cookies!
  • quick-cook oats – these hold your cookies together and give them a crunchy texture. I generally use the gluten-free variety, which takes another possible allergen out of the mix!!
  • sea salt – another dry ingredient, and to top your cookies afterward. Adding a bit of salt to anything sweet is just … mmm-mmm. You salty-sweet lovers know what I mean!
