No Bake Oat Cookies

April 7, 2016May 21, 2017 Melissa King 24 Comments

The other day, I saw this video on Facebook. It was the inspiration for these No Bake Oat Cookies. My recipe is not only healthier than the original, it is also vegan. Yay! And really, who doesn’t like a no bake cookie? You can literally whip these delectable cookies up in just a matter of minutes.

These could not be easier to make. Just 5 simple ingredients and you are on your way to chocolate peanut butter heaven. If you have a nut allergy, you can easily use sunflower butter in place of the nut butter. I know you will enjoy these No Bake Oat Cookies as much as I did!

White Chocolate Banana Cookies

We are about to head to Disney World for vacation, and I am trying to use up what I have on hand. That’s how these White Chocolate Banana Cookies came about. I had some leftover vegan white chocolate chips from my White Chocolate Raspberry Squares, so I thought this was a perfect way to use them up. After all, white chocolate and banana go so well together! If you can’t find vegan white chocolate chips, you can most definitely use regular chocolate chips instead. Macadamia nuts may also by another yummy option. The best part about this recipe is it has just 4 simple ingredients!

These cookies are vegan, gluten free and healthy enough for breakfast! The optional add ins are endless. I think some shredded coconut would be delish in here personally. Then again, I love all things coconut.

I have a new snack idea for you today. This one is No Bake Oat Bars. For this recipe, I was inspired by my homemade nutri-grain bars.

I wanted to make a similar recipe that requires less work and ingredients. This easy oat bar recipe only call for a few simple ingredients. I love that. So you probably have the ingredients to make them already. You can use whatever flavor jam you like.

This recipe is also nut free. If you like fruit bars, you may also like my blueberry oat bars.

In addition to being nut free, these bars are also oil free, vegan and gluten free. You can make them up in minutes. They also freeze well, so make a big batch if you like.

Flourless Pumpkin Muffins. The other day I made some Flourless Apple Muffins. They came out really well. As soon as I made them, I knew I wanted to make a pumpkin version. So I am bringing you these flourless healthy muffins.

They came out totally delicious. No flour and no refined sugar. I added some cranberries for a little burst of flavor. You can also add chocolate chips or raisins if you prefer. I also think pecans would be a nice addition. I didn’t add them because my baby girl is allergic.

These would make a great breakfast on the go. Or a snack. Either way they will be delicious. These Flourless Pumpkin Muffins are vegan and gluten free. You just need 7 ingredients!
