No-Bake Cookies THM-Fuel-Pull Low-carb Sugar-free

Sharing is caring!

Just like the no-bake cookies from childhood but low-carb, low-fat, sugar-free, gluten-free, and high-protein. And they’re even THM-Fuel-Pull!

These remind me so much of the no-bake cookies I use to make with my mom as a kid. They were our family’s go-to cookies and we never got tired of them. But, of course, the ones we had as kids were full of white sugar and carbs. They were also very calorie-rich, made with both butter and peanut butter.

With Trim Healthy Mama, sugar is of course off-plan but, while oats (carbs), peanut butter (fat), and butter (fat) are technically on-plan, these ingredients together are considered a “crossover” and could lead to weight-gain. So I wanted to find a way to make these no bake cookies where they’re low enough in both fat and carbs to be considered a Fuel-Pull (and could be enjoyed in any fuel setting, with the exception of Deep-S) but still have the protein (and actually more protein, in fact, thanks to the added whey protein isolate and the defatted peanut flour/powder in them) and that rich chocolatey chewiness of the no-bakes that I remember from my childhood. Oh, and they needed to be simple to make, too. Well, here ya go! These really have it all!

Just like the no-bakes you remember from childhood but healthy, low-carb, low-fat, sugar-free, gluten-free, and high-protein. And they’re even THM-Fuel-Pull!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 1/2 cup sweetener* (I use Lakanto Golden)

• 1/2 cup defatted peanut flour/powder (I use Trader Joe’s brand)

• 1/4 cup whey protein isolate

• 1/4 cup cocoa (I use Rodelle dutch-processed cocoa)

• 8 squares Baker’s unsweetened baking chocolate (100% cacoa)

• 1-1/2 cups quick oats (I use Quaker Gluten-free)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1/4 tsp butter extract (optional)

Directions

• In a sauce pan, stir together the milk, sweetener, peanut flour/powder, whey protein, cocoa, sea salt and extract(s) until smooth.
• In microwave, melt the baking chocolate and set aside.
• Start heating the sauce pan ingredients while stirring frequently with whisk. 
• When sauce thickens (don’t let it burn!), remove from heat and stir in the melted baking chocolate.
• Then stir the quick oats and mix thoroughly.
• Scoop out balls of cookie dough onto parchment paper. Shape into cookie-like shapes. Should make 20 cookies. Cool in fridge or freezer until hardened then enjoy!

Notes

• If any ingredients appear to have a line through them, just click to side of ingredient (or on another ingredient) and the line should disappear. It’s a feature of the recipe plugin that allows people to cross off ingredients as they add them to a recipe. Also, the print feature of this plugin is a little wonky so always check over recipe print-outs to make sure all ingredients are included and correct. Another option is to copy and paste the recipe text and print through a different program.
• Each cookie is: 66 calories, 2.4g fat, 4.4g net carbs, and 5.5g protein. So you can eat 2 cookies as a Fuel-Pull snack (assuming no other fats in meal).
• Collagen peptides could be substituted for the whey protein isolate to make dairy-free.
• If using a different sweetener, check out this sweetener conversion chart.
