PB2 No Bake Cookies
Made with powdered peanut butter, these PB2 No Bake Cookies are a fun twist on the original sweet treat and taste just as good!
I remember as a small child my grandmother making the classic version of no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies and loving every bite. My friend Sally has a super popular version of them using regular peanut butter (not natural peanut butter), the way I remember them.
But because I’ve done such good things with peanut butter powder…
… like these Peanut Butter Powder Cookies…
…and these Peanut Butter-Cocoa Ice Cream Sandwiches for PB2
…I thought it would be fun to create a new version of no-bake oatmeal cookies using PB powder.

I am 67 y/o a very skilled home cook but struggle with the seemingly easiest recipe, like these.
I’ve attempted this type of cookie many times. They come out delicious but sticky and not solid, at room temp.
I did realize I have Regular oats (organic) not yhe quick cooking. Could that be the issue??
I don’t think the oats would be the problem. Did you let the mixture come to a foil, rolling boil and boil for 1 minute? This is important as it helps the crystallization of the sugar, which helps to solidify the cookies.
Thank you for a perfect recipe. I had all the ingredients and doubled the recipe. It came out perfectly. I used extra dark cocoa powder, half coconut sugar/half pure monk fruit powder. I think for the next batch, I will use a little more oil, a little less sugar, and monk fruit.
TY
So glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for the feedback and the 5-star rating 🙂 ~Regan
Works beautifully; these tasted just like my favorite no-bake cookies, but with significantly fewer calories.
Thanks for the review. I’m glad you liked them!
Do you measure the peanut butter packed or loose in the measuring cup. I can’t wait to try these!
Loose. Hope that helps!
Has anyone used coconut milk instead of milk?
I personally have not. Please let me know how it goes if you do. ~Regan
Damn, these are really (REALLY) good cookies. I have a jar of PB2 Peanut Butter and also their Cocoa powder. I needed to make cookies because I have a sweet tooth and store bought cookies don’t cut it. I always try to find ways to use the PB2 stuff and found this recipe. It’s a hot summer in Illinois so turning on the oven was out of the question.
I followed the recipe carefully, and boiled the mixture fora little longer time just to make sure. It’s been a couple of hours so they have cooled and set up. I just now tried them (I’m already on the third one) and love love love them. Thank you for a great recipe! It really is very good!
So glad you enjoyed them! And thanks for taking the time to let others know 🙂 ~Regan
