Healthy No Bake Cookies

Recipe #137725 | 8 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: ShaGun

I played around with my family's No Bake Cookie recipe and produced a single portion of this cookie that I feel is healthy enough to eat as a meal. They’re still very good but are much healthier. I keep getting asked for the recipe, so I finally decided to measure out the exact portions and post the recipe. THIS RECIPE IS VERY FLEXIBLE! When I make them I NEVER measure out anything and I often add more or less of ingredients and they still taste great. I sometimes leave out the wheat germ and flax seeds and just add more oatmeal. I have made these replacing the sugar with about 3 tablespoons of honey. I have changed the recipe from 1 tsp. to 1 Tbsp. of cocoa powder.

SERVES 12 , 12 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat milk, sugar and cocoa powder over high heat until boiling, stirring constantly.
  2. 2
    Take off heat and stir in vanilla and peanut butter; stir until peanut butter has melted completely.
  3. 3
    Stir in wheat germ and oatmeal.
  4. 4
    Drop by large spoonfuls onto wax paper or eat immediately.
  5. 5
    *As I noted above, this recipe is VERY flexible. If you don't have wheat germ or flax seed, just use more oatmeal. The recipe above should work out just perfectly and does most of the time, but if your cookies come out crumbly, use less oatmeal next time. If they never set, use more oatmeal next time.

Great! I even cut back the sugar to 1/4 cup... after that I needed to add about 1/2 T. more of milk and cut back on the dry ingred. as well. Gooey, so not so transportable, but taste great!

    Just made my first batch of these. FANTASTIC. I upped the peanut butter and used smooth. I added coconut and used multibran buds instead of the wheat germ. Oh so yummy. This is now our go to cookie in this house.

    I am obsessed with these. The first time I made them I used 1 full tsp of cocoa because I like them a little more chocolate-y and we loved them. The next time I doubled the batch and used a full tbsp. of cocoa powder. That accomplished the chocolate-y ness I wanted. I thought I had enough ingredients but I realized I was low on oatmeal. So I added extra wheat germ and I really enjoyed it. I will definitely make these again. No bake cookies are my favorite and I love that these don't have a ton of butter! Thanks so much! This one is a winner!

    Excellent! Healthy but still delicious. I made the recipe as directed, refrigerating the cookies to firm them up. Everyone has tasted no bake cookies, but these are a real find. I actually prefer these to the traditional recipe which I always found too sweet. Wheat germ and flax seed are a great addition. I like ladypit's suggestion of adding more cocoa for a more chocolatey version, too. ShaGun, you're a genius, thanks for sharing your recipe!
