No-Bake Nut Butter Cookies

Makes 1 dozen cookies

These fast, healthful no-bake cookies were developed by Lisa Cantkier. Here’s what she has to say:

With about 10 grams of protein per serving and additional nutritional benefits, these babies certainly don’t taste like they took seconds to prepare. They can be made nut-free, dairy-free and vegan by using soy butter and vegan protein powder (choose organic varieties for various health reasons).

Ingredients

1 cup (250 ml) old fashioned, pure and uncontaminated, uncooked rolled oats
1/2 cup (125 ml) of your favorite unsweetened nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter) or organic soy butter
6 tablespoons (90 g) pure, natural whey protein powder or organic vegan protein powder
1/4 cup water (60 ml) water
1/4 cup (45 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (choose higher cocoa varieties)

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined.

2. If your mixture is too thick or dry, add a little more water and combine.

3. When all ingredients are mixed, form balls about the size of the palm of your hand, flatten and put on a plate.

4. Put the plate of cookies in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Nutritional analysis for recipes is created using Food Processor SQL nutrition and fitness software by ESHA. Recipes are analyzed per serving (unless otherwise indicated) for calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber and protein. Nutrient amounts are approximate due to variations in brands, manufacturer, preparation and ingredient substitutions. When ingredient choices are listed, we use the first one. Nonspecific amounts, for example "to taste," and garnishes are not included.
