These no-bake gluten-free chocolate oat cookies are so delicious! They taste like a cookie thanks to the chocolate and peanut butter combo but you also get some nutrition with protein and fibre from the oats. Best of both worlds!

Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar light or dark, packed
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup almond milk
- 3 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of Kosher salt and extra for topping if desired
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Add the butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and almond milk to a pot over medium heat. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Let the ingredients boil for at least 1 minute but no longer than 2 minutes to prevent burning. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt into the pot and stir until the peanut butter has melted and all the ingredients have combined well.
- Then, add the gluten-free oats 1 cup at a time. You may not need all of the oats. You don’t want the mixture to be too runny, but you also don’t want it to be too dry.
- Scoop the cookies onto the lined cookie sheet using a large spoon or cookie scooper.
- Press the cookies down with a spoon to create a rounded shape and place the cookie sheet in the fridge for about 30-40 minutes to fully set. If desired, drizzle with melted peanut butter and top with Kosher salt.
Notes
Adding the topping is optional, but I recommend it. Add a spoonful of creamy peanut butter to a bowl and microwave for 20-40 seconds until it is smooth and creamy.
Drizzle the peanut butter and a pinch of flaky salt on top of each cookie.
These cookies are best served cold.
Store these cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Nutrition information is approximate and for 1 cookie.
