One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is to bake and create new vegan recipes. I always have some extra time on the weekends, and this past weekend I made these delicious vegan no-bake cookies.
Ingredients
1. Rolled Oats
The first ingredient you need for this recipe is rolled oats. Fold the rolled oats into the cookie mixture to make these delicious no-bake cookies.
2. Peanut Butter
The next ingredient you need is peanut butter. I used a creamy natural peanut butter for this recipe. Some of my favorite peanut butters are Krema and Smucker’s Creamy Natural Peanut Butter. I recommend using a creamy peanut butter as opposed to a crunchy peanut butter if you don’t want any peanut chunks in the cookies.
3. Cocoa Powder
The next ingredient is cocoa powder. I used Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa Powder to make these cookies.
4. Vanilla Extract
The next ingredient you need is vanilla extract.
5. Maple Syrup
Next, you need maple syrup. You need 2 tbsp of maple syrup for the entire batch of cookies. Maple syrup is super sweet, so a little goes a long way.
6. Applesauce
The next ingredient you need is applesauce. Applesauce helps make these no-bake cookies soft and gooey. I prefer soft cookies over hard and crunchy cookies, so if you like cookies that melt in your mouth, you will absolutely love this cookie recipe.
7. Chocolate Chips
Next, you need chocolate chips. Some of my favorite chocolate chips to use in dessert recipes are Lilly’s mini baking chips and Enjoy Life’s mini chocolate chips.
8. Almond Milk
The last ingredient you need is almond milk, or another plant-based milk. Cashew milk, soy milk, and oat milk are good alternatives.

Notes
*Something to note is that you want to make sure the stove is at very low heat. You don’t want the mixture to burn, so keep an eye out and watch closely so the cookies don’t burn. They only have to cook for about five minutes, so if you lose track of time they might come out burnt.*
This is an easy recipe that takes no time at all to make. It’s a perfect dessert to make for birthday parties, holiday parties, and gatherings with your friends and family. These are incredibly gooey and flavorful–you seriously can’t go wrong with a batch of no-bake cookies.
