Craving a sweet and delicious snack? These no-bake chocolate oat cookies are the perfect treat.
Naturally sweetened with dates, they are made with peanut butter, coconut oil, dark chocolate chips, and rolled oats. This is a quick and easy recipe that requires no baking.
Instead of maple syrup, I am using dates as a sweetener. Not only dates are cheaper but their natural sweetness and caramel-like flavour pair perfectly with the rich dark chocolate flavour, creating a delicious and satisfying treat.

How to make these no-bake chocolate oat cookies
Step 1: Whizz the dates to a paste
Whizz the dates in a blender until you have a smooth paste.
Step 2: Melt the peanut butter
In a saucepan, heat together the peanut butter, dates, and coconut oil over low heat. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 3: Add the rest of the ingredients
Stir in the chocolate chips and the oats until well combined.
Step 4: Shape the cookies
All that is left to do is divide the oat mixture into around 28 balls and place them on 2 oven trays lined with parchment paper, then press each ball into a cookie shape. For convenience, I like to use a small-sized cookie scoop. It is very handy for creating evenly shaped cookies. Each scoop equates to 1 tablespoon. Alternatively, you can use a tablespoon and shape the cookies with your hands.
Step 5: Add the chocolate drizzle
Melt the remaining chocolate chips in a saucepan or in the microwave and drizzle over the chocolate oat cookies. It’s entirely optional of course!
Step 6: Refrigerate the cookies
The cookies are then refrigerated for at least 2 hours to harden.

Frequently Asked Questions About These No-bake Chocolate Oat Cookies
I prefer using jumbo rolled oats (or old-fashioned rolled oats) as it gives these cookies a hearty texture. However, you can also use quick oats if you prefer.
These cookies need to be kept in the fridge where they will last for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. They can also be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months in a sealed container or sealed freezer bag.
