This summer has been the season of no bake desserts. You have no idea how many times I have made a different variation of this no bake cookie recipe. The weather was so hot, I needed no bake treat recipes on hand at all time.

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 + 1/4 tsp 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.
