No Bake Nutella Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients
These easy Nutella No Bake Oatmeal Cookies are made with 7 simple ingredients. All you need is:
- white sugar
- salted butter - or unsalted butter + ¼ teaspoon salt
- milk - any milk works! If you wanted non-dairy options, almond milk and coconut milk go great in this recipe.
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- Nutella - or any hazelnut chocolate spread
- vanilla extract - or vanilla paste
- quick oats - also known as instant oats.
Tips
Storage: Store these no bake cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Do you have to use quick cooking oats? You can replace them with old-fashioned oats, however the texture may be a little more chewy. For best results, I suggest quick oats. If you wanted them this recipe to be gluten free, make sure you get instant gluten-free oats.
Switch up the Nutella. If you don't have a jar of Nutella at home, no worries! Replace it with peanut butter (the regular kind, not the natural peanut butter), cookie butter, or any other nut butters you like.
For a thicker cookie: Make sure that you are using a cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough. Not only does this create a uniform shape to your cookies, it gives it a more chewy and solid cookie.
