Sugar addiction is very easy to spot once you start doing your utmost to eat a healthy whole food diet. You know, when suddenly the sugar demon is around every corner trying to tempt you into eating that bad white stuff.

How To Make Healthy Raw No Bake Cookies?
These little healthy almond no bake “cookies” are as simple as can be! They are made without peanut butter, without oats, without sugar, and can be made without butter as well.
The Simple Ingredients Needed:
- Ground almonds
- Melted butter (You can also use coconut oil)
- Honey
- An optional drizzle of sugar free or dark chocolate.
Step-By-Step Instructions:
- We like to use almonds that we’ve ground ourselves in a blender, but you can also use almond flour.
- Mix the almonds, melted butter (or coconut oil) and honey. (Photo 1 and 2)
- Roll into cookie shapes. (I Use two teaspoons of ”dough” per cookie). (Photo 3) Place the cookies on a sheet of baking paper.
- Pop into the fridge for 30 minutes. (Photo 4)
- Now, melt sugar-free chocolate in the microwave. I break the chocolate into block and put them in the microwave for 10 seconds, then stir. I repeat this until the chocolate is melted. (Photo 5)
- Remove the cookies from the fridge and dip or drizzle them with chocolate and return them to the fridge for a few minutes.
- Then, enjoy! (Photo 6)

Can these cookies be made from the leftovers from making almond milk?
Hi Christine. I’ve never tried this and it’s hard for me to say if the ratios will work. When I make almond milk again, I will try this – and if you happen to give it a try before I get to it, please let me know if they worked out for you:)
So easy and they actually taste really good!! Thank you for sharing!
