Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

Aight so I got a confession to make.

I have a sweet tooth.

For awhile this was a bit of an annoyance honestly. There’s not a lot of bakeries or stores that are going to sell vegan desserts. Milk and eggs are the top two ingredients in any dessert. So I had to do what I do best and do some research.

After a couple google searches I found out a vegan cookie recipe that I don’t even have to put in the oven. It’s like cookies for lazy people. Or people who are energy efficient. Whichever sounds better to you.

Honestly, these are so good I thought about packing em up and selling em no bullshxt. But I’m benevolent so I’m not (for now).

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil measured in solid state.
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)

Instuctions

  1. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper, set aside.
  2. Combine peanut butter, salt, agave, and coconut oil in a saucepan and heat, stirring continuously, until melted and well-combined.
  3. Stir in vanilla and cocoa powder.
  4. Add quick-cooking oats and mix well.
  5. Add coconut and stir until completely combined.
  6. Drop 1 TBS portions of mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Continue until you’ve used all your cookie mixture.
  7. Let cool in the refrigerator or freezer until hardened.
  8. Eat that shxt!

Notes: You can sauce this up in different ways. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate chips, etc. I’ve made a few different varieties of these. This is just the base recipe. I encourage you to switch it up!
