If you love chocolate and are looking for a simple treat to indulge in on hot summer days, this recipe is for you. These no-bake cookies come together quickly with a few simple ingredients, then just require a few hours to set up and chill into chewy morsels of chocolatey goodness.
Made with quick oats, almond butter, brown sugar, and chocolate, this no-fuss dessert is always a hit in my house. I love how fudgy the finished cookies are. I keep them in the fridge so that we can snag a cool treat whenever the mood strikes.
Another reason to love this recipe? It’s flexible. Want to use peanut butter instead of almond butter? Want to add in some dried fruit or chopped nuts? No problem! I’ve shared info on how to mix things up below. 🙌🏻

Ingredient Notes
Here are substitutions tips for the key ingredients in this recipe. Be sure to scroll down for the full, printable ingredient list and instructions.
Light brown sugar – You can also use dark brown sugar.
Milk – Any kind of milk works, including plant-based milk.
Almond butter – Use the creamy kind. I like to use vanilla or maple almond butter.
Quick oats – You can’t use old-fashioned oats as-is in this recipe. If you only have old-fashioned oats, you can make your own quick oats by briefly pulsing old-fashioned oats in a food processor, just until the pieces have broken down a bit. 2-3 pulses should do it.
