Simple Snack Recipe: No Bake Cookie Cups

February 4, 2018 by Laura 10 Comments

This is a recipe in which my beloved Fat Bomb treat teams up with my dearest Honey Sweetened No-Bake Cookies to create No Bake Cookie Cups in perfect harmony.

Indeed, I’m talking about actual harmony as these No Bake Cookie Cups sing to me when I walk into the kitchen each morning. It’s like I have my very own Barber Shop Quartet sitting in my refrigerator. Just think of it! I open the fridge door at 6:30 am and these cookie cups take off their red and white striped hats to salute me. Then the singing begins.

I’ll spare you the song lyrics, but they are obviously all about how well I pull off the “just rolled out of bed” look with my mis-matched pajamas and fly-away hair.

Why all the hoopla about this simple snack recipe? Because it truly is my very favorite. These No Bake Cookie Cups are a perfect mix of nourishment and deliciousness. They are super filling because they are loaded with good fat and protein. The oats make them seem more like a no-bake cookie, and well, oats are good. The fact that these are made in muffin cups makes them even easier to make and definitely easier to eat.

So basically, these No Bake Cookie Cups are perfection, which is why we can all break out in to four part harmony together as we rejoice over this snack.

Here’s why they qualify as a Simple Snack Recipe: These come together in about five minutes. Scoop all ingredients into a saucepan and stir together until melted (five minutes, tops). Add the oats. Pour into muffin cups. Refrigerate. Eat. Sing. Be happy.

Such a Simple Snack Recipe!

Author: Laura
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • ½ cup coconut oil (I use expeller pressed so the coconut flavor doesn't overpower.)
  • 1 heaping Tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter
  • Liquid stevia to taste (I use 1½ droppers full of NuNaturals Brand.) or 2-3 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup whole rolled oats
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, heat and stir together coconut oil, cocoa powder, butter, honey, and peanut butter. (If using stevia as sweetener, wait to add it until after ingredients are melted and you've removed the pan from the heat.)
  2. Stir until melted.
  3. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in oats.
  5. Pour into 12 lined muffin tins. (I prefer to use silicone liners for these.)
  6. Freeze for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 2 hours.
  7. Store in fridge and enjoy.

Simple No Bake Cookie Cups

It’s worth noting that these taste best right out of the fridge and start to melt quickly if left out for longer than two minutes. Don’t ask me about the time I packed one to eat at a basketball game. Ok fine. I’ll tell you anyway. I once packed a No Bake Cookie Cup to eat at a basketball game, but by the time we arrived and I got it out to enjoy, it had turned to a baggie full of mush that required a spoon and five napkins. Good story, huh?

    I love the fact that these are made in muffin cups. It makes things so much easier! I think that this recipe is easier than their no bake cookie counter parts because of this fact. Such a great idea! Thanks so much!

    I put a gob of peanut butter in mine, instead of mixing it in, and it was like a Reese’s pb cup…..even my kids liked it’s! Thanks for a great recipe! (I used your original fat bomb recipe)

    Hi! I’m not much of a cook or baker much to the chagrin of my family so when it says butter does that mean salted or unsalted? :-)

      I use salted, but you can use either one. :)

    Also, can I use Canola/EVOO oil blend that I have? And is cocoa powder the unsweetened cocoa powder (I have that!)? Thanks!! *Sheepish grin*

      I’m not sure that oil blend will work as well for these as they will likely not harden nicely once chilled. Unsweetened cocoa powder. And always feel free to ask for specifics. I think it’s fun!

    Are these the regular size muffin cups or the mini muffin cups? I honestly can’t tell by the picture, but based on the ingredients I’m thinking regular size.
