I love to make sweet treats with coconut. It’s an ingredient that adds a fantastic taste and texture to baking and no-bake recipes alike. Just try my Coconut Banana Cookies, Coconut Flour Oatmeal Cookies, or Coconut Flour Shortbread Cookies and you too will be convinced!
What Are No-Bake Coconut Cookies?
Coconut No-Bake Cookies, also called raw coconut cookies, are cookies made without any oven or heat. They are made of a combination of raw ingredients no butter or sugar, only wholesome nourishing ingredients combined at room temperature and then solidify in the fridge or freezer, like my No-Bake Almond Butter Cookies or No-Bake Pumpkin Cookies.
Ingredients and Substitutions
These no-bake cookies with coconut are cookies made with coconut oil. Coconut oil is the magic ingredient that holds raw cookies together. In fact, coconut oil solidifies below 74°F (23°C), which gives all the texture to these no-bake vegan cookies. Let’s have a look at the simple ingredients you need to make those macaroon cookies. It’s very easy to make a raw coconut cookie in less than 20 minutes. All you need are:
Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut Almond Flour or rolled oats, oat, and coconut makes the cookies a bit dryer so I recommend almond flour Coconut Oil – feel free to use refined coconut oil if you don’t like the strong flavor of unrefined coconut oil. Liquid Sweetener – I love to use either maple syrup or sugar-free monk fruit syrup to make the keto coconut cookies. It is up to you to choose the sweetener you prefer. Other options are coconut nectar, brown rice syrup, or agave syrup. Lime Juice – or simply water or coconut water if you don’t like the flavor of coconut lime together. Dark Chocolate – chocolate and coconut go very well together! So dip half of your cookies in melted 70%-85 dark chocolate!
How To Make No-Bake Coconut Cookies
Optional Flavors
The recipe uses 3 tablespoons of liquid, and many liquids will work I recommend using lime juice as coconut lime is the magic flavor. However, you can also try coconut water to enhance the coconut flavor or unsweetened vanilla almond milk for a vanilla coconut cookie. You can also add a dollop of peanut butter to the batter to add a lovely peanut butter flavor, but this increase saturated fat as well.
Storing No-Bake Coconut Cookies
These no-bake cookies with coconut can be stored for up to one month in a sealed container in the fridge. You can also store your cookies in the freezer, in silicone bags, and thaw them 30 minutes before serving. They are delicious to eat frozen as well.
