30 Gluten-Free No-Bake Cookie Recipes… OmNomNom!

We’ve all been there: you want a homemade cookie but you don’t want to (or don’t have the time to) bake. Maybe your oven is out of commission, maybe the house is already too hot, maybe you’re short on time or maybe you’re just not in the mood. Regardless of your reasoning, this list can help. We’ve compiled the top thirty gluten free no-bake cookie recipes that suit a diet free of wheat, barley, rye and related grains.

When shopping for ingredients, remember to look for products that are certified gluten free.

Oats, for example, are a popular staple in many no-bake recipes, but the cereal grain is susceptible to cross-contamination issues unless you pick up a certified allergen-free product. Especially if you have a medical condition like celiac disease, read the labels on every food item you’re considering buying.
