Hi Bold Bakers!
Chocoholics, rejoice. My Chocolate and Oat No Bake Cookies are something of a treasure. This no-bake cookie recipe takes just ten minutes to whip up, is rich in chocolate and is allergen-free — no need to look out if you’re avoiding gluten or animal products!
Making No Bake Cookies
My Chocolate and Oat No-Bake Cookies can be made in minutes by combining cocoa powder, peanut butter, coconut oil and sugar in one pot. This chocolate peanut “sauce” is healthy and binds the all of the ingredients together. All you have to do is add in the oats and then spoon the mixture onto a lined baking tray. After a quick rest in the fridge, you’ll be in for the most satisfying treat. While other cookies use traditional flour as a base and eggs as a binding agent, these vegan cookies lack both meaning they don’t need to be baked in the oven.

My chocolate no bake cookies are chewy and rich with texture thanks to the oats and peanut butter. The coconut oil and cocoa combine well for bittersweet decadence that just melts in your mouth. I love to have these cookies on hand for when I’m in need of that chocolate hit and don’t want to turn to unhealthily processed treats. My Chocolate and Oat Cookies are great to throw together with your friends and family as they’re healthy and delicious!
