Healthy No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
These Healthy No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies are a perfect treat; they’re grain-free with only 5 ingredients, and can be made in 15 minutes!
Sweet treats are part of my everyday routine, but I do make an effort to use ingredients that support my health. I used both almond and peanut butter in this recipe, but you could easily substitute cashew butter or tahini to make them paleo. The coconut flour helps them stick together, and the dates are the only sweetener.
Recipe Steps
The only ingredients you need to make these cookies are:
- Natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
- All-natural almond butter, smooth or crunchy
- Organic coconut flour
- Medjool dates
- Vanilla extract
- Sea salt
I like to keep these cookies in the refrigerator and grab one whenever I want something sweet. These healthy cookies are perfect for kids too!
Once you make the batter in the food processor, you just have to use your hands to form the 10 cookie “patties.” The batter looks crumbly, but I promise it comes together very easily.
Then, just press a fork onto the tops to make the little traditional peanut butter cookie pattern.
Even my husband will eat these healthy cookies. Shhhh, don’t tell him that they’re healthy!

If you don’t have dates, can I substitute with something else?
Unfortunately, dates are really ideal for this recipe because they add both sweetness and stickiness to help hold the cookies together. So, the only option would be to substitute with dried figs or apricots.
