Sweet and Healthy Snack Idea
Having sensible snacks on hand is a essential to boost productivity and also keep kids energized and their minds working. No bake snacks are the perfect solution because they take barely any time to whip up and can be customized to suit different taste buds and to keep things creative!
One of my all time favorite snacks I make on a weekly basis are my chia seed energy bites They a healthy, sweet snack that pack nutrition and satisfy hunger between meals. Because they are no bake, they are really quick to mix up and have on hand.
Growing up, one of my favourite cookies were loaded oatmeal cookies topped with a mix of chocolate chips- White, dark, milk and peanut butter. I decided to recreate this in a delicious and easy no bake form for a quick and satisfying snack for my kids!
How to Make Loaded No-Bake Cookies
These loaded no bake cookies are a winner! The base is made from oat flour, nut butter, maple syrup and a little bit of milk to form together.
For those with nut allergies, this works really well with Sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter. Also, if you don’t want to use maple syrup, you can use brown rice syrup. It is a little bit trickier to find in stores though. You can also use honey or another sticky sweetener. Be sure to increase it by around 1-2 tablespoons.
Instead of adding the chocolate pieces in the dough, I like to press them onto the cookies after they are formed. It gives it a fun appearance, and it’s also fun for kids to do themselves and customize their cookie.
Loaded Healthy No Bake Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup oat bran
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup nut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup, pure can use brown rice syrup or honey also
- 1 tbsp milk as needed to combine dough
- 1/4 cup chocolate pieces milk, dark, white or butterscotch
Instructions
-
Line a large plate or baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oat bran, and sea salt and mix well.
-
In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the nut butter and maple syrup and heat until melted.
-
Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and mix very well. If the mixture is too crumbly, add milk, a tablespoon at a time until a thick batter is formed. If mixture is too wet, add more flour until a thick batter is formed.
-
Form into small balls and press onto the lined plate and press into a cookie shape. Add the chocolate chip (I used dark, milk and white chips) mixture on top and press firmly into the cookies to set. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
