Vegan Cookie Recipes

No-bake Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

There are just some days when you don't want to wait for the oven to preheat, or bake for that matter, and you need a quick recipe. I love this no-bake recipe because it's delicious, quick, and relatively healthy.

You can trade out any kind of nut butter and experiment a bit with your wet sugars. Maple syrup, brown rice syrup, and agave nectar all have the right texture, so play with the amounts to find your favorite cookie recipe.

Ingredients:

1/3 c. maple syrup
1/3 c. brown rice syrup (or substitute with more maple syrup)
1/4 c. vegetable oil
5 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. rolled oats
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the syrups, oil, cocoa, and cinnamon.

Boil for three minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter, rolled oats, and vanilla, until well blended.

Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and cool until set. If you're in a hurry, stick them in the freezer for a few minutes and they'll be all ready to eat in about 5-10 minutes!
