Do you ever eat something, then think back into your childhood and have a great memory? These cookies do just that for my husband. He remembers being with his siblings and making these cookies. Funny thing is that most of the time, they would just grab a spoon and eat them right out of the pot.
There are so many different names for these cookies… Mud clusters, frogs, No-bake chocolate cookies… Whatever you want to call them, there is one thing for sure. They taste great and are simple to make!
Mud Clusters (Gluten Free/ No-Bake/ Dairy Free/ Egg Free/ Refined Sugar Free)
1 c. palm sugar
1/2 c. coconut oil (or butter if dairy is tolerated)
1/2 c. milk alternative ( I use coconut milk)
3 c. gluten free oats
1 c. unsweetened coconut
6 Tbsp. raw cacao or cocoa
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. coconut oil (or butter if dairy is tolerated)
1/2 c. milk alternative ( I use coconut milk)
3 c. gluten free oats
1 c. unsweetened coconut
6 Tbsp. raw cacao or cocoa
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. vanilla
In a medium size pot on medium heat, add sugar, coconut oil and milk and bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly. Boil for up to one minute. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Mix and drop by spoonfuls ( I use a one inch scoop) onto parchment paper. Wet hands and help form clusters if necessary.
Chill cookies one at least one hour. Store cookies in the fridge for up to one week.
Makes approximately 36 one inch cookies. These cookies freeze well.

I am going to try these without the cocoa and add some dried cherries and nuts in them.
Let me know how they turn out without the cocoa.
Looking forward to trying these. We love no bake cookies!
These look very good! What’s gluten free oats? I ‘m assuming if someone is allergic to oats they still can’t eat gluten free oats. Oats is Oats ? right? I hate being allergic to oats but if I could I would want to make these!
Have a great weekend,

Gluten Free Oats are ones that are certified to have not been near wheat.
Sorry that you are allergic to oats. You could always try quinoa flakes. They would probably work the same.
