{Allergy-Free} Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

February 11, 2013 By 4 Comments

I have always loved chocolate no-bake cookies. A few years ago, when Joshua was diagnosed with allergies, I decided to alter my grandma’s recipe to meet my son’s need to have a safe and tasty cookie.

While I have a butter substitute that we like, I chose to use extra virgin coconut oil instead. The cookies taste so good with the coconut oil that my husband prefers my version to regular no-bakes. :)

I do suggest extra virgin coconut oil because it has a coconut taste to it. I buy Nutiva extra virgin coconut oil because we really like both the quality and taste.

Here’s my recipe.

{Allergy-Free} Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 Cup Rice Milk*
  • 1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
  • 1 3/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Sunbutter**
  • 3 Cups Gluten Free Oats
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla

Instructions

  1. Mix cocoa powder, milk, coconut oil, and sugar in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a boil.
  3. Boil for 2 minutes stirring constantly.
  4. Remove pan from heat and add peanut butter.
  5. Stir in the oats and vanilla.
  6. Mix well.
  7. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper lined baking sheets.
  8. Allow to cool and serve.

Notes

* Any dairy free milk can be used in this recipe. If dairy allergies aren't a problem then regular milk can be used.

** If peanut or nut allergies are not an issue then one of those would be an alternative to Sunbutter.

    Oh, theses are deadly! We love these. My youngest is allergic to peanuts so we use Sunbutter. She calls it her flower butter. It’s cute. I will have to makes some of these for her.

      That is cute about the flower butter. :) We don’t have nut or peanut allergies here, but it is nice that there are alternatives.

    I’m glad you shared this! I finally just quit making the original recipe because my husband is allergic to peanuts. Hate to make something yummy he can’t eat. Now I can give him an option!

      Thanks, Jeri! I am sure you could use your original recipe if you substituted Sunbutter or cashew butter for the peanut butter. However, you are obviously welcome to try my recipe, too. :)
