These Nutella No Bake Cookies are so easy to make and come together in minutes. If you are looking for a quick and simple dessert, we highly recommend trying these.
We LOVE these Nutella No Bake Cookies! Who would have thought that addingNutellato no bake cookies would make them even more amazing??I am totally a peanut butter and chocolate junkie, but these cookies are a close second.
One of my favorite recipes of all time are our mom’sGorilla Poops(a.k.a. No-Bake cookies).Even though the name sounds funny (my kids get the giggles every time I call them that), they are absolutely delicious.(I know that everyone has their favorite recipe for no bake cookies, but I really think that hers are the best!).
No bake cookie recipes have always been a hit in our house. They’re done quickly, they cool to room temperature fast, and all you need are a few simple ingredients and supplies like parchment paper, quick oats or old fashioned oats, a cookie scoop, a large saucepan or medium-sized saucepan, and a few other basic ingredients. It’s such an easy dessert! The classic version is made with classic peanut butter, but we mixed it up with this one by adding in some easy Nutella or hazelnut spread for that hazelnut flavor.
No bake Nutella cookies have quickly become a favorite no bake recipe in our house, and if you’re reading this, you’re about to find out why! The creamy nutella mixed with the texture of the quick-cooking oats or old-fashioned oats is unmatched. Plus you can eat the leftover Nutella! These easy cookies are sure to become a new recipe you’ll make for years to come.

Do these cookies freeze well?
These cookies do freeze pretty well. I usually only freeze them if I know they won’t be eaten for a few days.
I usually keep mine in an airtight container in my fridge or on my counter for up to four days.
These are definitely best when made fresh.

How many Nutella No Bake Cookies does one batch make?
For this recipe, I can usually get at least 24 cookies out of it. On a good day without any kids at home, I can get about 32 cookies.
Some taste testers like to grab a spoon and sneak a bite when I’m not looking.
You can also make them bigger or smaller as needed. It’s also a super simple recipe to double, and you can still make it all in one pot.

This looks so good! Peanut butter ones are also heavenly :) Do you think i could sub in mashed bananas for butter and agave for the sugar and then increase the amount of oats? Thanks!

I tried this over the weekend, it's really yummy, it's more like a truffle than a cookie :) it's too sweet for my taste though, even after using just 1 1/2c of sugar. I'll lessen it next time. Do you think it will be as delicious and gooey if there is no nutella?
thanks!

Made these for the first time the other night and they were a HUGE hit with colleagues at work (as well as with hubby's colleagues). My 4 year-old and 16 month-old really liked them too. So easy!

Thank you! We love Gorilla poops (I have never heard that name, but I love it!) but now that we have a peanut allergy we don't make them anymore. This will be a wonderful replacement.

I didn't have milk at home and currently only have a stove top, but I wanted to make something for a birthday treat. I had a can of Coconut milk in the cupboard, so I exchanged the milk for coconut milk.. Turned out good! A bit richer than regular, but still delicious! I hope they are a hit tomorrow with my fellow teachers!

Susan Vilar says:
Found your recipe through Pinterest.Planning to make them for pot luck at work on Friday. Have made the regular No-Bake cookies since I was a kid.... can't wait to try the Nutella version!I've found that Nutella in buttercream is fantastic!!! Nutella when cooked seems to lose all its wonderful flavor for me. I'll be interested to see how this 'stirring in' will do with the Nutella flavor.

Leah says:
Just made these last night. While they' were good, they didn't taste like nutella. I think the cocoa powder covers it up. Next time I make no bakes, I think I'm going to sub the peanut butter/nutella for hazelnut butter and see how that tastes. The cocoa and hazelnut should hopefully make them taste like nutella!

I love no bake cookies, but the Nutella takes them to another level! Sooo good. I don’t know that I can do it again without Nutella 😁
