No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are a favorite, have no refined sugar, take 10 minutes to make, have the texture of a cookie. That's 5 Stars!
The day I made cookies without baking them and the texture was like a cookie, I got religion. Well, I gotta say I have lots of religion but this was a trial and error recipe that had me jumping through hoops.
The first test turned out to be wonderful soft truffles and I want to tell you all about that recipe one day very soon.
The second try was a little too sweet and they still didn't harden but the third try was just right. Hallelujah!
This recipe is based on a non-vegan recipe that has been around for 50 years or more.
I mean, I have heard people say that their grandmother's made them so that is pretty old!
Although the premise was good there was just way too much unhealthy stuff inside. Not anymore.
These no-bake cookies are stackable, aren't too crispy and who doesn't like chocolate and peanut butter.
You've got to check out the ingredients.
Proof that you can have your sweets and still live a healthier plant-based life. That is my goal with this blog. To make recipes that people love but show that nothing is being missed.
You can have all the textures; crunchy, creamy, chewy, soft and all the tastes; sweet, spicy, tangy and mild. Everything can be plant-based.
Believe me, I don't want to miss any of the delicious recipes I remember from my pre-vegan years. I also have another agenda. I want my family to love to eat at my house.
Not just to like the food but to really really like it. So far, so good.

Silk's products are the best. There is not only dairy-free milk, like 30 different varieties, but there is also creamer, yogurt, Silknog and many dairy-free milks in single size packaging.
The Unsweetened Almondmilk that I used in No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies has 30 calories per serving and 50% more calcium than dairy milk and so much more.
