No Bake Cookies (Paleo, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

No-Bake Cookies are a favorite in the summertime. You just mix the ingredients and then put them in the fridge to chill. So easy!

No Bake Cookies (Paleo, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

This is an old-school recipe that I adapted so that more of us with food intolerances or allergies can enjoy. If you have a nut allergy, you can replace the nuts with any combination of dry foods you’d like. Sunflower seeds, dried fruits, or sprouted oats are all good options.

    I can't wait to try these, they look delicious! And thanks for the travel tips...we, too, are about to move across the country in a few weeks and I have been thinking about how I can maintain my commitment to healthy eating when faced with all the fast food and convenience stores! While I don't want to eat that crap, it's all too easy to give in because it's right in front of you or you're just so hungry you forget how those foods will make you feel later. Instead, I will head out on the road prepared with some of the foods you listed! Thanks again :)

    Hi Carrie, long time no hear from me, but I check the recipe each time you post them and am happy to see a few vegan ones come across and appreciate you offering what we can substitute. So, now, where are ya headed?! I'll have to try and send you some organic peaches again once that time comes.

      Good to hear from you! We are headed back to NW Florida. We are thrilled. Your peaches were so amazing! Anytime you want to send some over, I'm happy to accept. :)

    We just returned from a three day road trip to Paso Robles, CA (we live in San Diego). I was determined to come home with NO extra baggage (on the hips), haha. So, I packed the cooler with cut up veggies; carrots, celery, red, yellow, orange peppers, cucumber, and grape tomatoes. I made a batch of your ranch dressing (from your cookbook), fresh fruit, cottage cheese and assorted cheeses. I got a healthy breakfast fix at my favorite restaurant in Santa Monica, Urth Caffe, on the way there, too! I'm happy to say I succeeded, no extra baggage :o). Yea! I will say, the number of fast food restaurants on the way was staggering! Carrie, I will be praying for a smooth transition for you and your family. Having only ever lived in CA, I can't imagine the stress of packing up and moving across the country. But, I know from your blog that you are leaving much healthier than when you arrived and because of that many of us are blessed, too! So, be blessed along your journey, praying for travel mercies and safety for you all. Blessings, my friend! Karen

      Thanks for sharing your ideas. Isn't it great to travel and not feel "ugh" when you get back? I'm going to miss Urth Caffe - love that place! Thank you for your kind words. It's been a great experience living in SoCal, and yes, I'm leaving much healthier and I'm thankful for that! I appreciate your prayers during this time of chaos. Once we leave CA this weekend, I think I'll be able to breath easier knowing the hardest part of the move is behind us. :)

      We just moved across country 2 years ago. CA TO SC we sold most everything and started over! Had lived in CA all our lives, but best move we ever made. We always travel with a cooler full of healthy food so we don’t have to stop for fast-food. Can’t wait to make these cookies! Safe travels to all.

    How do you find places to buy food at good prices once you get to where you are going. We live in NW Florida right now with the military and will be moving sometime before the end of this year but we won't know where we are going till a few weeks before. Do you have networks you connect with or do you just do research online?

      We are headed to NW FL, right now. :) Whenever we move I check www.localharvest.org, www.realmilk.com, and www.eatwild.com. I also start asking around once I get into town about coops, farmer's markets, etc. I've always been able to find what I need at each location, it just takes a little time and creativity! :)

    Wishing you safe travel, Carrie - and hope it will be a good kind of adventure! You're a little closer to the Carolinas, so come on over next time you can (after you're settled, of course!)

    I made these into squares... made as directed then poured the mixture into a parchment-lined 9x9 pan. Used 1c coconut flakes, 1c cashews, and the last cup a mix of raisins, sunflower seeds and chocolate chips. Oh, and didn't have coconut milk so skipped it altogether. They are my husband's favourite cookies now.

    Thank you for this recipe. I really enjoyed them! I have a question though: I used coconut oil and, even after being refrigerated, the cookies were greasy. Did I make an error along the way, or would butter be less greasy, or is that just the way it goes with something so healthy? :-)

      Sucanat will have a stronger flavor. If he isn't sold on "real food" desserts, then I'd try these:https://deliciouslyorganic.net/chocolate-peanut-butter-ice-cream/, https://deliciouslyorganic.net/lemon-meringue-ice-cream-pie-recipe/, https://deliciouslyorganic.net/fudgy-chocolate-tarts/ :)

    I just made these with Lakanto a monk fruit sugar substitute. They are amazingly good. I just added the Lakanto after adding the coconut and nuts since it shouldn't be boiled down . Lakanto is from Japan and I use it in my cakes and cookies. The only thing is it is very expensive.

    These sound amazing. They remind me of an old family version. I don't like coconut flakes, or chopped nuts in mine. Could I use a organic plant based grain, like oats instead of coconut and maybe more raw nut butter instead of raw nuts? Can't wait to try. .

    WOW! I have to tell you - no bake cookies are my absolute favorite cookies to make since I was a child. The ones with the oatmeal and 2 cups of sugar. I tried these today and they were delicious. I can never wait until they cool. I ate some straight from the bowl and fell in love. =) Thank you.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I'm certainly going to make the cookies. They really sound really good to eat. I try to eat healthy, stay in shape and exercise. Its important to me to take care of my body. I like fruits and vegetables and like to eat in small portions with everything else. I'm at an ideal weight but, I want to lose more, I probably have to work harder to lose. I'm going to look into more of what this site is offering. Again, Thank you. Norma.

    Hi Carrie, I'm not a fan of coconut, can I omit it or do you have any substituions? I'm OK with coconut milk, it's just the meat I don't really like, haha. But these look so good! Thanks!

    I made these today. LOVE THEM! I did use honey instead of coconut sugar. I used 1/3 cup raw honey but next time I think I'll use 1/2 cup honey to sweeten just a little more. The nice thing is that they aren't overly sweet. I also used butter and not coconut oil. Next time I'll try half butter and half coconut oil. My husband loves them. This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you!

    So glad to see this recipe!! This is one of my alltime favorite cookies... but due to a recently discover peanut (I can tolerate almonds, pistachios and cashews. All other nuts are a no go... ) and severe gluten allergy, I've had to give them up. Seeing this totally rocked my world today!! I am SO glad I found your site!

    These sound great, but only for home. The school "lunch box police" would have these taken and disposed of before my kids even knew they had them. Pretty much EVERY school in Canada is nut/seed free anymore, even if there are no kids with allergies!

    I came across your recipe after doing a search for something like these and these look great! I can't wait to try them! Perhaps it's just late, but I was thinking of what fun names these could be called...like a nickname so I don't have to say the full name. (Boy, do I sound lazy, ha!) Anyway, the nickname that came to me was Coco Nutties...or Cocoa Nutties...or Cocoa Coco Nutties? :) Again, it's late, but just had to share. Thanks again for sharing all your great recipes with us!
