To create the perfect foundation for your Healthy No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, start by preparing your dry ingredients. This includes rolled oats, cocoa powder (if using), and any optional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Properly combining these dry ingredients is crucial, as it ensures an even distribution of flavors and textures throughout the cookies. Use a large mixing bowl and a whisk to blend the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding any wet ingredients. This simple step will help prevent clumping and promote a uniform texture in your final cookies.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

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

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Mix well.

    Combine Sticky Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

      Mix Together: Pour the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients (oats and cocoa powder). Stir until everything is evenly combined. If you are using chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or shredded coconut, fold them in at this stage.

        Form the Cookies: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and form into small cookie shapes (about 1.5 inches in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

          Chill: Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to firm up. They can also be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, enjoy your healthy no-bake cookies with a glass of milk, a smoothie, or as a snack on the go!
