Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ⅔ cup unsalted natural creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Heaping ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2½ cups whole rolled oats
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Pour the rolled oats and mini chocolate chips into the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated into a cookie dough.
- Form cookies: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. With your hands, roll the dough portions into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Shape cookies: Flatten each ball into a disk using your fingers. The disks will firm up more after chilling.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the cookies overnight—about 12 hours—to allow them to firm up completely.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, the no bake cookies are ready to enjoy as a delicious snack or dessert.
Notes
- If using salted peanut butter, reduce the added sea salt to half and adjust to taste to avoid over-salting.
- Use natural, smooth peanut butter for best texture; avoid chunky peanut butter with separated oils.
- Chilling time is essential to help the cookies firm up and hold their shape.
- Mini chocolate chips can be replaced with dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts according to preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
