It was much too hot and humid to bake tonight, but I still wanted a sweet treat after dinner. So, I got creative in the kitchen, and I came up with a quick and easy no-cook peanut butter cookie recipe. The recipe calls for only 4 ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare start to finish. And, of course, no cooking is required! You gotta try this one! 
Makes 8 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dry oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- Cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well
- Line a baking sheet (or plate) with wax paper
- Use a tablespoon to scoop batter onto wax paper and flatten into a cookie shape
- Sprinkle with cinnamon (optional)
- Put cookies in refrigerator to cool overnight

Holy yum, that looks so good. So creative!
Wow! The hot days in San Diego are coming–this will be a must!
Those look so good! I’ll be trying those for sure. It’s been so hot here lately, I have no desire to turn on the oven.
Tina, you always get me with your peanut butter creations. This is a definite must try!
Yum, those cookies look delicious! Next time, maybe some cocoa would kick them up another notch!
Yum!
yum! i’ve never tried eating flour raw. no…that’s not true…i eat raw cookie dough. have you tried these out yet or are you waiting until tomorrow, after their vacay in the fridge?
Those look so peanut buttery – yum! No bakes are delicious! Thanks for your recipe!!
yumm those look so good. i need to try these!
oh my!!!! these look incredible! Dangerous
These look great!
Great idea! It’s too durn hot to turn on the oven!
Brilliant, as usual!
I literally went directly into the kitchen and made these! I have them “chillin’” in my fridge! I accidentally (but perhaps quite “smartly”) added an insane amount of cocoa powder (my “dash” went haywire) – we shall see. Thanks so much for the idea!
These look delicious! Definitely going to try them!
Those look great and so easy! Great idea!
I went running and lifted weights after work. I really need to find some dinner, I am thinking watermelon:) Great treat idea!
Oh yum! I’m going to have to pick up some wax paper!!
They look incredible. And I’ll bet they’d also be amazing straight out of the FREEZER!
those look incredible!!!
thank you for sharing the recipe
These look like such a great alternative to the “no-bake” chocolate pb cookies I used to make with an entire stick of butter and cup of sugar! ick! If they’re anything like your pb bars that I made a while back, count me in!
Yum! Those look delicious! I think I might have to try those this week…I am certainly in need of a no-cook recipe since I do not have AC, and it has finally decided to turn into summer here in Minnesota!!!
Holy yumminess!!! How can you wait for them to cool in the fridge overnight???
Hi Tina! I just have to say that I really enjoy your blog! I just love how real and balanced you are-and I appreciate your candor about your struggles to motivate yourself to exercise! After years of ever-exercising and thinking that “had” to be running tons of miles every week to stay thin-and I’m only 26- I just do not want to keep up that schedule up and I love how moderate you are with everything!
all i can say is yummmmmm
What a simple recipe! It looks delicious, I must try it. Have you ever substituted something else for the agave nectar though?
Great idea! All my favorites all in one simple cookie.
MMM, those sound wonderful! They will work perfectly here in hot, humid FL!
Oh yum! Anything with PB is good in my book
Really wanna try these cookies! Do you think I can substitute the nectar with something else? Honey maybe? xxx
YUM! I want to make those!
AMAZING!!!
I’m totally making these next time I have dessert at our girl’s night potluck! Ok, so I’m making s’mores next time but next next time for sure
Wow, these look great! I have all the ingredients, so I may have to try these tonight!!!
**drools on self** — if you have any extras i’d be pleased to dispose of them for you
!
Genius!! Can’t wait to make these! Thanks! I’m always looking for these kinds of goodies to bring to doctors and other people I see and want to show my appreciation for…and I get to test taste in the process..it’s all good!

I just started following your blog and last night I made these cookies. Whoa! They are yummy!!!! Thanks for sharing the easy and tasty recipe!
Wow! These turned out great and were super easy to make.
I just had to add again that my hubby and I love these and tonight I made the 3rd batch! Ok, not good, but I like making treats that he likes and aren’t bad for you! The bad part is that they are too easy for me to eat too many!
I did replace the white flour with whole wheat and they are great! Also, I used some honey last time when I ran out of agave, also wonderful! I’ll be linking this recipe on my blog…Thanks!
These look incredible…I’m going to make them today!
Just a minor question. I’m a beginner raw foodie and trying to ease my way into the lifestyle. In regards to the all- purpose flour, since we’re not baking, I am assuming the flour can be eaten raw? I want to make a batch of these cookies ( because they look so delicious) for a vegetarian friend, but I don’t want to give her an upset stomach in case flour can’t be eaten raw. Much appreciated.
I had lost all motivation until I found your website. I love the information here and will be bookmarking it to come back again. I am also going to let my friends know about your blog
@Once a fat girl: Thank you! I hope to see you on CNC again!
