No-bake Protein Cookie recipes are my favorite snacks, just next to my Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls, Protein Mug Cake, and Chocolate Protein Yogurt. They are ready in less than 30 minutes, and they are packed with all the nutrients you need to be full for hours. They are a great healthy snack for kids or for recharging after a workout. If you like my no-bake vegan cookies, you’ll love this protein-loaded version. They are naturally:
Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Vegan Refined Sugar-Free
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make healthy no-bake protein cookies are a few simple ingredients and less than 20 minutes.
Creamy Peanut Butter or almond butter. Both are high-protein nut butter options. Otherwise, for a nut-free option, try sunflower seed butter. Maple Syrup or any liquid sweetener you love, including sugar-free Monk fruit syrup or brown rice syrup for a low GI option. Melted Coconut Oil – To keep the cookies together. Almond Milk or any non-dairy milk you have, including coconut milk or oat milk. Vanilla Extract – for flavor Cocoa Powder – I prefer to use unsweetened cocoa powder to make it easier to balance the sweetness. Chocolate Protein Powder or vanilla protein powder. Choose a plant-based version. Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats or quick oats Seeds – I like to use a combination of chia seeds and hemp seeds. Both are high in proteins and add a lovely crunch to the no-bake cookies. But feel free to use any seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or even crushed almonds.
How To Make No-Bake Protein Cookies
Storage Instructions
These no-bake protein cookies soften very fast at room temperature. They are better stored in an airtight container in the fridge to stay crispy. You can also freeze no-bake cookies. They last up to 3 months in an airtight box, and you can also enjoy them frozen. They are very tasty and crunchy just out of the freezer.
Allergy Swaps
If you have some food allergies, I listed some options for you below:
Nut-free – replace the nut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini. Keep in mind that seed butter is slightly bitter. Also, replace almond milk with coconut milk or oat milk. Sugar-free – you can use a sugar-free liquid sweetener like monk fruit syrup in this recipe. Gluten-free – any gluten-free cereal can be used instead of rolled oats, including rice flakes, puffed quinoa, cornflakes, or puffed buckwheat. Coconut-free – you need an oil that firms up at room temperature. You can’t use olive oil or vegetable oils in no-bake recipes. The only option is cocoa butter.
