No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are a favorite, no refined sugar, take 10 minutes to make and have the texture of a cookie. 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.

 

 

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies have 5 ingredients, no refined sugar, take 10 minutes to make, have the texture of a cookie and are Made with Silk Milk!
Silk’s products are the best. There is not only dairy free milk, like 30 different varieties, but there is also creamer, yogurt, Nutchello varieties and many dairy free milks in single size packaging.

The Unsweetened Almond milk 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.

Did I mention it’s Verified by the Non-GMO Project’s product verification program?  It’s amazing stuff.  If you want to learn more about Silk’s dairy-free products, sign up for the Silk Newsletter.

  6. With a spoon, drop dollops of the batter onto wax paper.

  1. I made these and they were absolutely delicious. So simple to make and freeze great.

  7. Wow, these sound amazing. No bake and there is still some crispness in them, no wonder it took you so many trials and errors to get the perfect recipe. These are definitely are on my to make list!

  10. No, you couldn’t do it in a microwave Jenny. You have to boil the wet ingredients to a certain temperature for the cookies to harden. You couldn’t do that in the microwave with a constantly climbing temperature.

  11. These look super easy
    Is it possible to heat the saucepan ingredients in the microwave? Would consistency result be the same?
    Thanks!!

  18. Not thick headed at all Cath! The one that is the easiest to find is Earth Balance and it is in many large mainstream stores. It is usually right next to Smart Balance but that one is not vegan. Melt has a couple of good ones too. One of Melt’s has honey so vegans avoid that one. I am so glad you are going to make these cookies!

  19. Hi Ginny, Pardon me for being so thick headed. What is dairy free butter? I mean, are there a couple product names you can throw out that I could search for? I am very new to this vegan business. Thank you so much for this great recipe… Cath

  26. This looks great! Everyone should be sure to use fair-trade cocoa and chips as slavery is still rampant in the world of chocolate.
