Have you ever tried making no bake cookies without milk? When I informed Erik that tons of folks search for no bake cookies without milk, his response was, “Who’s looking for no bake cookies WITH milk?!”

I mean, his indignation levels were out-of-this-world. Lol. I then promptly informed him that a ton of classic recipes for no bake cookies are made with milk. Facepalm! 😉 J/K!

Meanwhile, if you were searching for “no bake cookies without milk” and happened upon my healthy no bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies: welcome! There is not a trace of milk… or stovetop, baking, or cooking involved here. Woohoo!!

  • Can I freeze these 3 ingredient no bake peanut butter cookies?
  • Yes! Store your no bake vegan cookies in a freezer-friendly container for up to 2 months. Just make sure to thaw cookies before enjoying.
  • Are there stovetop directions for these healthy no bake cookies?
  • Yes! Check out the Notes section of the recipe for directions.

  • Can I reduce the amount of maple syrup in these no bake cookies?
  • Yes, you can reduce the maple syrup a bit. Just make sure to balance that out by reducing the gluten free oats as well—play around with it!

And added dark chocolate chips… Delicious. They are a little sweet, so I think adding cinnamon or salt in top would be a nice touch.

    This is an old post, but had to comment. I was craving something sweet late at night, and don’t keep sweets in the house, but have all 3 of these ingredients, and recently went vegan. Only added a few tablespoons of Vermont maple syrup, and that was plenty for me. I may have eaten several cookies worth straight from the bowl… They took me less than 5 min to make, and the oats filled my tummy and everything else satisfied my sweet craving. Will be following your blog from now on =)

    I wanted something sweet NOW so I had to use the ingredients I had on hand. I halved the recipe and used half vanilla almond butter and half peter pan whipped creamy peanut butter. I used Cary’s sugar free pancake syrup instead of maple syrup. I let that mixture cool a bit so I could add Lilly’s stevia-sweetened chocolate chips. Also, I had no room in my freezer and no parchment or wax paper so I used foil and put them in the fridge (what all was left anyway, lol). They are freaking AWESOME!!! I WILL be making these again.

    I am so happy to find this site. I have been buying grrr nola from a dog bakery for myself. It is basically a no bake cookie but instead of syrup uses honey and adds chopped unsalted peanuts, cranberries, and dark chocolate carob. I am hoping to figure out how to add the extras to your recipe, unless you do it first, and I can stop paying $9.00/ for 12 cookies.

      Hi Maria, funny you should ask, I’ve recently received this question. Here’s what I said: I think it could work–but perhaps with a bit more maple syrup? I’m not completely sure since regular peanut butter is much thicker than liquidy natural. Maybe try making a smaller batch to see how they turn out, and adjust as need be. Hope this helps! Let me know how they turn out. 🙂

    Made these since we ran out of granola bars! I used crunchy PB (added about 2T – 4T extra per your instructions from other comments) and had some mini chocolate chips (about 1/4 C). They were really yummy! I did keep them in the fridge since they sort of fell apart when soft. Maybe I needed even more PB? My sister came over and loved them! She asked me to make some to bring on our family vacation this year! Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi Brianna! So glad you enjoyed them. 🙂 Did you swap 1/4 cup of oats out for the chocolate chips, or did you just add those in on top of the oats? That might be the reason why they fell apart–too much dry. Let me know so we can figure it out together. 🙂 Isn’t it the best when your family loves the recipe too? Thank you for reporting back. Happy no baking! 🙂

        Ah. No, I didn’t reduce the oats by 1/4 cup! Will try that next time. Thanks!

          Okay, that’ll do it! Too much dry and the cookies will fall apart. Also, melting chocolate would mess up the wet ingredients too. Enjoy! 🙂

    I hate to be “that girl” haha, but do you think this would fly with regular kraft peanut butter?

      Lol. No worries! Hmm… I think it could work–but perhaps with a bit more maple syrup? I’m not completely sure since regular peanut butter is much thicker than liquidy natural. Maybe try making a smaller batch to see how they turn out, and adjust as need be. Good luck, Elisha! 🙂

    Do these cookies freeze well? They look wonderful.

      Hi Marie! A few readers have told me that they do actually freeze well. I think you’d just have to thaw them before enjoying–unless you like your cookies very firm. 🙂 Enjoy!

    I see a lot of positive feedback here. What nut butter would you recommend substituting for those of us with peanut allergies? I love cashew, but that would be expensive. Almond has a different flavor all together. Maybe a combination of a few?

      Hi Desirae! As for a more affordable nut butter option, you might try sunbutter. Okay, it’s actually a seed butter (hehe). It’s a bit more expensive than peanut butter, but cheaper than almond butter. Side note, I think these actually taste great with almond butter, so you can give that a try as well. Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂

    How long did you microwave the peanut butter/ syrup for? I did it forever but never got bubbles.

    Thanks 🙂

      Hi Casie! I did 2-4 heatings in the microwave. 🙂 You should see the PB maple syrup mixture aerate a bit–not with large bubbles, but lots of tiny ones. Does that make sense? Hehe. Basically, it should get drier and fluff up a bit. As long as you were able to make the cookies, chill them, then enjoy a tasty, chewy texture, you did it right! 🙂

    I made these with 1/2 creamy, 1/2 crunchy PB, because that is what I had. They were very good but next time I will add a little maple extract because I couldn’t taste the maple syrup and I like maple and PB together.

      May 18, 2017 at 7:36 am

      Hi Barb, it might work, but you’d have to add in more peanut butter to increase the liquid a bit. Maybe add an extra 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup of chunky peanut butter, and see how you like the texture. You might have to experiment to get your preferred consistency. Can’t wait to hear how it turns out! 🙂

    Math-free parades are my favorite kind of parades and easy cookies are my favorite kinda cookies, so I will happily join you for both! Before we discuss how ridiculously easy these little cookie cuties are can we gawk at the delicious chewy oat-abundant texture for a moment because that might be drawing me in even more than the simplicity here. Somehow seeing all those oats poking through makes these feel more breakfast acceptable, don’t you think.? It’s true, there are so many ways to do the no-bake cookie thing (most of mine are basically just larabars shaped into cookies ha.) but I think the granola bar inspired method was a wonderful choice! And I’m sure there will be plenty more no-bake-ortunities (??) around here to try out ALL the ways.

          Hi Mary, I haven’t made them with less maple syrup, but I know that a few readers have. Maybe you can leave out a few tablespoons and play around with the amount of dry ingredients? Once you get the texture that you like, you’re all set! Good luck. 🙂
