No-Bake Cookies

No-Bake, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free Cookies

1/2 cup xylitol

1/2 cup stevia

3/4 cup erythritol natural sweetner 

(all sugar substitutes should be powder and not liquids for this to set properly)

1/2 cup of almond milk

1/2 cup coconut oil

4 Tablespoons of cocoa 

Combine in a non-stick pot and bring to a boil.  Once it is boiling, cook for one and a half minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in:

1/2 cup natural, no-sugar added peanut butter

Stir until mixed in.

Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla and stir.  Then stir in:

3 cups dry oats

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper and cool.  (I make regular size cookies for the adults and baby-size for my grandbaby.  He likes to stuff the whole cookie in his mouth at once and the larger ones are too big for him - not that it stops him.  Just makes a big mess when he realizes he can't swallow and he spits it out.)

This is a good substitute for regular no-bake cookies.  If you have an allergy to peanut butter, you can substitute almond butter, but I like the taste of peanut butter.  If you want to use dairy, you can use regular milk and butter instead of the almond milk and coconut oil.  And if you are gluten-sensitive, make sure you get gluten-free oats, although some people who are sensitive to gluten can have a reaction to oats as well.
