Description

These Lemon Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies are a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for a quick snack. Combining the zesty brightness of lemon with wholesome rolled oats and almond flour, these chewy cookies are naturally sweetened with maple syrup or honey and require no baking. They are easy to prepare, ideal for those who want a delicious dessert without turning on the oven, and can be enjoyed straight from the fridge.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, and salt until evenly blended.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the maple syrup or honey, melted coconut oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the mixture is well incorporated. If using, fold in the shredded coconut to add texture and flavor.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and gently shape them into small cookie rounds by pressing the mixture firmly together.
  5. Refrigerate to Set: Arrange the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, enjoy these lemony no-bake cookies straight from the fridge as a satisfying and refreshing snack.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • You can substitute shredded coconut with chopped nuts if preferred.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust the lemon juice and zest according to your taste for more or less tang.
  • To make them more filling, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to the dry ingredients.
