3 Ingredient No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
These easy no bake oatmeal cookies are just 3 ingredients. They come out soft, chewy and sweet.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (92 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (114 g) pureed bananas
- 1 cup (87 g) rolled oats, or 1 cup + 2 tbsp (101 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Add chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Heat chocolate at full power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This took about 1 minute for me. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate on the stove with the doubler boiler method.
- Stir in pureed bananas. I recommend using a whisk to make sure the bananas are completely and evenly incorporated with the chocolate.
- Stir in the oats until they are evenly mixed in. The mixture should still be very wet. Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop up cookie dough and place onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
- Press down on each cookie ball to flatten and shape into a round thick disk cookie shape. You can do this with the back of a spoon or with your hand (if you don't mind them getting a little dirty because some of the chocolate will stick to your hand.)
- Place cookies into fridge to set. This can take 30-60 minutes. When cookies are set they should no longer feel wet and sticky. They should feel firm and you should be able to peel the cookies off of the parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge.
Notes
- The cookies can be made with rolled oats or quick oats. The texture is a little different depending on which one you choose. See post for more details.
- Even though it will look like the chocolate is completely solid again after the cookies are set, you aren't just biting into hard chocolate. When you bite into the cookie, it will be soft and chewy.
- The key to the cookie texture is having the banana puree fully incorporated into the chocolate, otherwise the chocolate will harden back to its original state, which is why I recommend using a whisk.
- Make sure to puree your bananas in a food processor or blender. Very ripe bananas work best.
