Description

No Bake Avalanche Cookies are a quick, easy, and delicious treat made with wholesome ingredients like oats, peanut butter, honey, nuts, and chocolate chips. These no-bake cookies are perfect for a healthy snack or dessert, requiring minimal preparation and no oven time. They set in the fridge for a chewy, satisfying texture that’s packed with natural sweetness and crunch.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or peanuts)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (natural or creamy)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm Peanut Butter and Honey: In a medium saucepan, warm the peanut butter and honey over low heat until melted and smooth, ensuring the mixture is well combined without burning.
  2. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the quick oats, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut if using, mixing them evenly.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the warm peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly until everything is evenly coated and combined.
  5. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them into cookie forms.
  6. Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the cookies to firm up and set properly.
  7. Store Properly: After setting, store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make the cookies vegan-friendly.
  • For a nut-free option, replace chopped nuts with seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • If shredded coconut is not preferred, simply omit it without affecting the overall flavor.
  • Ensure the peanut butter and honey are warmed gently to avoid burning and maintain smooth consistency.
  • Store cookies in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh for up to one week.
