Healthy (or at least healthier) No-Bake Cookies
Looking for a no-bake cookie recipe that doesn't include two cups of refined sugar? Try these healthy no bake cookies that are packed with flavor and texture!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Chill Time 10 minutes
Servings 14 to 16
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter I used natural
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips I used milk chocolate because that's the bag that was open
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries
Instructions
-
Melt the butter, peanut butter and honey in a pot over medium heat, until smooth.
-
Remove from heat and add all remaining ingredients, stirring to combine.
-
Lay a piece of wax or parchment paper on the counter or on a cookie sheet and scoop golf ball sized rounds of mixture on to the paper.
-
Spray the bottom of a drinking glass or measuring cup with cooking spray and press each ball flat until it's about 1/4-1/2 an inch thick.
-
Let cool on the counter or, my preferred method, stick them in the fridge. Once they are set, eat them all in one sitting.
-
Or don't. They'll be good the next day too. And probably the day after that, but I can't vouch for that particular detail because I've never had them last that long.

If you want to be extra fancy, sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on the top of each of these!
