Delicious vegan no-bake cookies with perfect texture, featuring options for cinnamon raisin or chocolate chip variations. These gluten-free treats come together quickly using simple ingredients like almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and oats, and require no baking. Ideal for a healthy snack or dessert that firms up in the fridge or at room temperature.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup natural almond butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Cinnamon Raisin Version

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup raisins

Chocolate Chip Version

  • 1/2 cup mini vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: In a medium pot over low heat, stir together the refined coconut oil, natural almond butter, maple syrup, and salt until the coconut oil melts, stirring occasionally.
  2. Bring to boil: Turn the heat to medium and, stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a full boil.
  3. Boil mixture: Maintain a full boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly and adjusting heat to keep the boil without burning. The mixture will thicken and become glossy and caramel-like. Avoid boiling longer to prevent separation.
  4. Add vanilla extract: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  5. Prepare cinnamon raisin version (optional): Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg, then add the rolled oats and raisins, mixing well until combined.
  6. Prepare chocolate chip version (optional): After adding vanilla extract, stir in the rolled oats and let the mixture rest for 10-20 minutes to cool slightly so the chocolate chips won’t melt. Then gently fold in the mini vegan chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop cookies: Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the mixture onto parchment paper, forming cookie balls.
  8. Set cookies: Let the cookies firm up at room temperature for a few hours if your home is cool; alternatively, chill them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
  9. Store cookies: Keep the cookies refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week. For warmer conditions or on-the-go snacks, freezing is recommended to maintain firmness.

Notes

  • Use refined coconut oil instead of unrefined to avoid coconut flavor if preferred.
  • To make gluten-free, ensure the rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • The cookies will firm up better if chilled, especially in warm environments.
  • If you want to avoid melting chocolate chips, allow the oat mixture to cool before adding chocolate chips.
  • These cookies freeze well for longer storage.
