Healthy Hemp Seed and Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies
I really love experimenting with hemp seeds in my dishes (I also love cooking with hemp oil!)
Hemp seeds may be tiny, but they are packed with serious health benefits and beneficial properties, such as high-quality protein and a near-perfect balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids (and that balance is critical to optimal health).
You know what else hemp seeds are? Really, really tasty! They have a nice nutty-flavor, which makes them a perfect addition to a no-bake cookie.

These cookies are also made with other healthy ingredients like rolled oats, cacao powder, coconut oil, and cashew butter (though you can substitute any nut or seed butter if you need to for taste preference or allergy needs.)
And let me tell you, these are insanely easy to make. One pot. A bunch of yummy ingredients. Dropped onto a cookie sheet. And put in the fridge to set.
If you have bad luck with baking cookies like I do, these no-bake cookies are totally for you.
No-fuss satisfaction for that chocolate craving.

I’ve made a lot of no bake cookies and love the idea of a more healthy version. These taste great but did not set up. Any idea what I did wrong?
Hmm, what kind of coconut oil did you use? I should have specified to use unrefined/virgin coconut oil – I’ll edit that in.
Will this work using no sugar?
Not sure, you may need to play around with the ingredient amounts.
I luv u natural healthy recipes but what can I substitute cornstarch and coconut oil for as I can’t have sugar or corn!! I’m completly vegan !!
Hi! The coconut oil is pretty essential for this recipe to help the cookies set. Maybe I’ll make a healthier version of these in the future! I’ll do some testing in the kitchen 🙂
Can you substitute coconut for oats
I’m not sure, I haven’t tried it that way.
These look great! About how many medium sized cookies would you say this recipe makes?
Thanks for recipe. The cookies are delicious. I have cut the sugar in half and used brown sugar instead of coconut sugar cause that’s what i had.
These are so good!! Whipped up a batch today. Nice to have a healthy cookie to curb some serious pregnancy cravings of mine! 🙂
Yay! So glad you enjoy them. It’s always nice having scrumptious, healthy alternatives 🙂
This is exactly what I’m making them for! Pregnancy sugar cravings like crazy.
