Lemon Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies

   

Ingredients

1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

 

Preparations 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

 

Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture becomes thick and sticky.

 

Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls or flatten them into cookie shapes.

 

Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

 

Once set, enjoy these zesty, no-bake cookies as a quick snack or a light dessert! 

 

Notes

These cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.

You can adjust the lemon juice and zest to achieve your preferred level of tanginess.

Use gluten-free oats if needed for a gluten-free version.
