Baking may be my first love, but there are days when I just can't turn on the oven. That's when I turn to my easy, no-bake recipes, like these no-bake chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies. They are irresistible!

Adapted from my no-bake almond cookies, they’re as good as the classic chocolate chip cookies. Yes, you do need to turn on the stove for this chocolate peanut butter oatmeal no-bake cookies recipe, but it’s a quick 5-minute job, and that's it.

After that, it's just dumping everything in a bowl and forming cookies with the dough. These no-bake cookies are child's play, I tell you!

Why you'll love chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies?

Fantastic recipe for healthy snacking or a chilled after-school treat.

Ingredients for making no-bake peanut butter chocolate cookies

Ingredients & swaps

Oats: I made no-bake peanut butter chocolate oatmeal cookies with rolled oats. They give a chewier texture to the peanut butter and cocoa powder cookies. You can make these cookies with quick oats. The recipe works with either.

Want a gluten-free recipe for these cookies? Switch to certified gluten-free oats.

Sweetener: Date syrup was a personal preference. Feel free to substitute it with honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup.

Peanut Butter: I used creamy peanut butter as that's what I had on hand. But if crunchy peanut butter is what you love, use that for these peanut butter cookies. You can even replace it with any nut or seed butter.

Pro tips

  • This is a dairy-free and refined-sugar-free peanut butter oatmeal cookies recipe. You’ll find dairy-free chocolate and locally made date syrup easily, either online or in a big supermarket.

FAQs

Are peanut butter cookies healthy?

Yes, chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies are healthy! These sinfully delicious gooey cookies are clean and free from all nasties.
Loaded with oats, good-quality organic peanut butter, coconut oil, and cocoa powder, the oatmeal cookies are naturally sweetened. High in fiber, protein-rich, and full of good fats, peanut butter no-bake cookies make a wonderful, wholesome snacking option.

Why didn't my no-bake cookies harden?

When you’re making no-bake cookies, like in this peanut butter chocolate cookie recipe, the trick is refrigeration. Give them enough time to chill and firm up.

Why did my peanut butter cookies fall apart?

Stick to the wet-to-dry ingredient ratio, and your no-bake chocolate and peanut butter cookies will not fall apart. If the mixture seems to dry, add some more liquid, if too wet, simply add more oats.
