We all have that one family recipe. You know the one I’m talking about it right now. The one your mom or dad is known for making. Maybe it’s the one that isn’t reminds you of home. For myself and my mother, it’s no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. We always have the ingredients on hand for this one. But alas, I’ve had to swap around the ingredients because your girl needs a healthy no bake cookies option.

Now, I will say I’ve kept this recipe VERY close to original. However, I don’t find I make it this way all that often. It depends on my mood of what version of the healthy no bake cookies I’m going for. More often than not, if it’s just me eating them, I’ll swap in coconut sugar instead of traditional refined sugar. Or I’ll use a different nut butter. We’ve been using the chocolate espresso almond butter from Base Culture lately and it gives that EXTRA kick.

If you’re nut free, you could always sub in sunflower butter for the peanut butter. Or you could go full almond joy with coconut butter, coconut milk and up your shredded coconut instead of loads of oats. Seriously, the possibilities for healthy no bake cookies are endless.
