SO, basically everything delicious but not all of the healthiest things to eat, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milehighmitts.com\/peanut-butter-coconut-no-bake-cookies\/\">Peanut Butter Coconut No Bake Cookies<\/a>, I&#8217;ve taken the classic no bake cookie and made them a little healthier by using gluten-free oats, coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter and almond milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A few simple swaps is all it takes to make the classic no bake cookie healthier for you<\/strong>, but what makes these no bake cookies in particular better than their classic counterpart?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almond Joy flavors, friends!<strong> Yes, peanut butter and chocolate are fantastic together, but the sweet and nutty almond joy combination is one of my absolute favorites!<\/strong> Bonus, these cookies are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Peanut free (for those of you with an allergy!)<\/li><li>Gluten-free (using certified gluten-free oats)<\/li><li>Refined sugar-free (using coconut sugar)<\/li><li>Vegan (using coconut oil, almond milk, and dairy-free chocolate chips)<\/li><li>NO BAKE! Which makes these cookies incredibly easy to whip up and not have to worry how they will &#8220;turn out&#8221; when they disappear into the oven.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"915\" height=\"610\" data-pin-description=\"Classic no bake cookies made healthy and with an almond joy twist.

I&#8217;ll give you some tips.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, you&#8217;ll need to prepare a few things. Once your mixture of wet ingredients in your pot is hot you&#8217;ll want to move fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Line a pan with parchment paper. Have your almond butter pre-measured, waiting for you, in a cup measure (you&#8217;ll need it later!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, in a small mixing bowl, mix together your dry ingredients: oats and shredded coconut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a medium sized pot, on medium high heat, add your coconut sugar, coconut oil and almond milk. Once your mixture begins to simmer, stir it continually for about 2-3 minutes. This step is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You need to make sure your wet ingredients get hot enough and really bubble up, or else they won&#8217;t be warm enough to &#8220;cook&#8221; your oats a bit, when you combine them later. <\/strong>Be careful though, you don&#8217;t want to burn your liquids, so keep it on a nice simmer (not a crazy high boil!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once your wet ingredients have simmered enough it&#8217;s time to move quick.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your pot off the heat, and pour your pre-measured almond butter, and your vanilla, into the pot. Whisk together quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour your hot, wet ingredients over your oats and coconut and stir until everything is well incorporated. Now, using a small cookie scoop, scoop your cookies onto your pan. Gently flatten the tops of your cookies out so they are cookie shaped (and not a cookie mound).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"610\" height=\"915\" data-pin-description=\"Classic no bake cookies made healthy and with an almond joy twist.

You can either use a whole almond like I did, or you can place a sliced almond or sprinkle chopped almonds on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Almond Joy No Bake Cookies will cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes, and come out thick, chewy, chocolate-y, sweet, nutty and delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, don&#8217;t forget to keep these cookies stored in the fridge. The coconut oil doesn&#8217;t hold up as well in room temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Need more almond joy flavors in your life??<\/strong> Check out my gluten-free no bake Almond Joy Granola
