4 Ingredient No Bake Apple Oatmeal Balls
These apple oatmeal balls are soft, chewy and don't require any baking. They only need 4 ingredients and don't require any flour, eggs, refined sugar, dairy, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp (102g) apple butter with no added sugar, see note before starting
- 1/4 cup (64g) natural cashew butter with no added oils, can also use peanut butter
- 1-2 tbsp (15-30ml) honey
- 1 cup (88g) quick oats
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add apple butter, cashew butter and honey to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a spatula until evenly combined. Add in the quick oats and mix until evenly incorporated and the mixture is thick, like cookie dough. It should be thick enough to shape and roll. If your dough is too sticky or soft, add more oats, 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough is thick enough. You can also taste the dough and add a little more honey or apple butter to suit personal preferences. If adding mix-ins, add them in now.
- Using a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough. Roll the mixture between your palms until it forms a smooth round ball. Place onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining oat mixture.
- Place cookies into fridge for about 30-60 minutes to firm up a little more. Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- The cookies are only very lightly sweetened. If you prefer sweeter cookies, I recommend adding mini chocolate chips or dried fruit. You can also add a little more honey to the dough.
- Apple butter note: I used apple butter made with apples and apple juice concentrate, no other added sugar. You can also use one that includes spices if you prefer the flavor of Fall spices in the cookies. When measuring the apple butter, avoid scooping any excess liquid which sometimes float to the top of the apple butter jar. I used Eden Apple Butter.*
