Make Cookies Without An Oven

No bake cookies! Have you caught on to this healthy, perfect snack or lunch box treat idea that doesn't require turning on the oven?  Stock your pantry with some simple basic items, and you can throw these "cookies" together in no time.  You can even sneak healthy extras in like flax seeds!  We make several variations, but my son has always liked this one that uses carrots.  I even got him to help in my latest video.  I do love baked treats in the oven, but sometimes it's nice to keep the oven off, especially in the hot summer months.
Below are some general ingredients that you will need to build your own No Bake Cookies.
Basic items needed for No Bake Cookies:
* rolled oats
*peanut butter, almond butter or nut free sunflower seed butter
* honey, maple syrup or brown rice syrup
Add ins:
*ground flax seeds, chia seeds or hemp seeds
*unsweetened coconut
*shredded carrots or shredded zucchini
*raisins or cranberries
*chocolate chips
*chopped nuts: walnuts, almonds, cashews
*sunflower seeds
*spices: cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, all spice, ground ginger, nutmeg
