For those who are skeptical to use oats, you could always substitute them with quinoa flakes.

maybe i tried using quinia too early in learning the diet, but to me it made the cookies taste and smell like dirt. i love bob's red mill gluten free oats. just wish more stores would carry them, but they are pricey!!!

YUM, no-bake cookies!

Now, is there something ELSE I could use besides oats? (I have to admit, the quinoa flakes don't sound too appetizing either...)

I was thinking about that. I just tried them with cereal. It works. I used a mixture of Cocoa Pebbles, Rice Chex, Kix and 3/4 cup chopped nuts with 1/4 cup Quinoa flakes.

My problem was I made 1/2 recipe with the recipe posted, BUT, I forgot to only use 1/2 the oatmeal replacement and I forgot to use 1/2 the peanut butter so they are a bit dry and crumbly...oops my fault. I also used coconut oil. Give it a try...sure taste good anyway. Mine taste like a Kit Kat bar. They would be good crumbled on top of ice cream. You could even grind a few sunflower seed kernals.

My guestimate...I think they would be good with 1 3/4 cups Cocoa Pebbles, 3/4 cup chopped nuts and 1/2 cup of Quinoa, adjust as needed. If too sweet, reduce the sugar a bit.

The recipe I have calls for 3/4 cup marshmallows, 1 more T. of cocoa and 1/2 cup nuts or coconut.
