Easy no-bake peanut butter cookies with just 3 main ingredients. Completely vegan and naturally sweetened, these fuss-free cookies come together in one bowl.
To a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, and maple syrup. Whisk the mixture until combined. Add the sea salt and slowly add the oat flour in 2-3 increments, mixing each time. Mix together the ingredients using a spatula or spoon until they form a dough.
Using your hands, knead the mixture together to form a dough ball. Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it out to approximately ½ inch (1.25 cm) in thickness. Use a 2-inch (5-cm) cookie cutter to cut the cookies or you can use a larger-sized cutter if preferred and make fewer cookies.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with more parchment paper. You can press them down using a fork to create a waffle effect. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, freeze them in an airtight container and defrost overnight in the fridge before serving.
Notes
To make your own oat flour from scratch, simple blend the rolled oats until finely ground.
If your peanut butter is on the thicker side, simply heat it over a double-boiler to help it become runnier.
For chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies, pop them into the freezer for about 10 minutes before dipping in chocolate.
Add some non-dairy chocolate chips to the batter to make a chocolate chip version of healthy no-bake cookies. Instead of using a cookie cutter, simply divide the dough, roll it into balls and flatten them out using a fork.
