These healthy unbaked oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy. They are easy to make and do not require cooking or cooking. Cookies need only three ingredients and contain no flour, eggs, refined sugar, dairy butter or oil. They store well and are a great snack or dessert.
I almost always have some kind of healthy oatmeal cookie in the house at all times and most of the time they are not baked oatmeal cookies. They are so easy to make and can be stored in the fridge or freezer for when you need a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Fast Oatmeal
- Honey
- Almond Butter Fast Oatmeal
: This recipe works best with fast oatmeal
. Fast oats are thinner and smaller than rolled oats. They don’t need as much liquid to soften and this recipe doesn’t have much liquid. If you use oatmeal, they may not soften completely and the cookies may dry out. If you want to make this recipe with rolled oats, you can try pressing the rolled oats in a food processor until they have the consistency of quick oatmeal.
Honey: These cookies are sweetened with honey. You can also use maple syrup. Or if you want even less sugar, I have a version that uses mashed bananas. Cookies will taste less sweet with bananas, but cookies still taste good.
Almond butter: Be sure to use natural unsweetened almond butter. This is almond butter that only has almonds in the ingredient list and has no added oils. This recipe will not work with regular almond butter (almond butter with added oils). You can substitute almond butter with natural peanut butter. If you need a nut-free substitute, you can try natural sunflower seed butter.
How to Make Oatmeal Cookies Without Baking
The ingredients are combined in a bowl and stirred until the honey is fully incorporated and a thick mass is formed. Then the dough is removed, rolled into balls and flattened into discs on a cookie tray. Cookies are placed in the fridge to reaffirm. 
Unbaked oatmeal cookie texture
These cookies
won’t taste like baked cookies. They are soft and chewy and taste a bit like granola bars or energy bars in the form of cookies. These cookies are also slightly sweetened. You can make them sweeter by adding dried fruits or other mixtures.
Variations
As discussed in the Ingredients section, you can make these cookies with a few different choices of sweeteners. Each will produce slightly different results.
Honey: Using honey will make the sweetest version of these cookies without baking. The dough will also be softer and cookies are best stored in the fridge to keep them firm.
Maple syrup: The cookie dough will be drier with maple syrup and not as sweet. But these cookies are easier to hold and can be stored at room temperature or in the fridge.
Bananas: This version will have a softer dough, similar to the honey version. Cookies should be stored in the fridge or freezer. Cookies have very little sugar.
