Dairy Free No Bake Cookies {Gluten Free}
These chocolatey peanut butter cookies have chewy oats in a rich, fudgy coating.
Equipment
- 1 medium pot
- 1 wooden or silicone spoon
- measuring cups and spoons
- 2 medium baking sheets
- parchment paper optional
- 1 medium cookie scoop 2 tablespoon size
Ingredients
- 1 stick dairy free butter* ½ cup
- 2 cups coconut sugar or your favorite sugar
- ½ cup dairy free milk I use sweeten almond milk
- ¼ cup cacao powder may sub cocoa powder if desired
- 1 pinch salt
- ⅔ cup peanut butter I use sweetened peanut butter
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3½ cups quick cooking oats look for certified gluten free
Instructions
- Add dairy free butter, coconut sugar, dairy free milk, cacao powder, and salt to pot over MEDIUM-LOW heat. Stir frequently until melted, well combined, and smooth.
- Increase heat slightly, so it's closer to MEDIUM. Bring to a vigorous boil for 1 minute stirring often. Remove from heat.
- Add peanut butter, vanilla, and quick cooking oats. Stir continuously until peanut butter is melted and oats are evenly coated by the mixture.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the batter onto a parchment lined cookie sheet about 1½" apart gently flatting with you fingers or a spoon as you go. (Don't use heaping scoops of batter. Try to make sure the scoops are mostly level. I push the cookie scoop up the side of the pot to scrape off excess batter.)
- Allow the cookies time to set up and firm some. This takes about 2 hours at room temperature or 1 hour refrigerated. Enjoy!
Notes
*It can be hard finding a good dairy free, soy free butter alternative, but this dairy free butter is one my favorite finds. The base of it is cashews, so it is a no go for those of you with nut allergies. Earth Balance and Country Crock also offer good quality plant based butters that are nut free. However, it’s important to note they both do contain soy and/or legume products.
