How to make these Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

• Place the peanut butter and agave syrup in a glass mixing bowl.
• Place over a pan of boiling water until just melted, or in the microwave for around 20 seconds until just melted – make sure not to overheat it.

• Add the oats, ground almonds and cocoa powder and mix well.

• Lay out a sheet of baking paper (on a rectangular baking tray might be easier) and use a cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop a heaped tablespoon of the mixture onto the baking paper.
• Use a fork or the back of a large spoon to flatten down the cookie into a circular patty.
• Repeat until you use up the rest of the mixture – you should be able to make around 9 cookies.

• Place in the fridge for at least one hour to firm up.

How long do these Chocolate No-Bake Cookies keep for?

These Cookies keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few days, or in the freezer for up to one month – defrost for at least 30 minutes before eating.

Substitutions you can make to this recipe:

• the peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini
• the agave syrup can be substituted with brown rice syrup or date syrup (I wouldn’t recommend maple syrup as it’s too liquidy)
• the ground almonds can be substituted with ground walnuts or ground sunflower seeds.

Can you bake these No-Bake Cookies?

Yes! You can bake these in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 12-15 minutes.
