I know it has been a while since I last posted, but I have still been cooking and baking up a storm and have plenty of recipes to post for you. I hope everyone had a good holiday and with recent weather events survived the storm.
We rently went to a friends to watch the opening of Supercross (I am a big Chad Reed fan) and was asked to bring dessert, not a problem for me at all. :) The catch to this is our friends are vegan and can only eat certain things, so I found this vegan friendly nobake cookie recipe and decided to try it.
Vegan No Bake Cookies with Chocolate and Peanut Butter:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or other milk alternative)
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or chunky)
- 3 -3 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions:
- Add the first four ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan.
- Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the next 3 ingredients and drop by tablespoons onto wax paper. ( I strongly reccomend the wax paper, I ran out and thought I could use parchment paper but it was a big mess so off to the store I went and they worked much better)
- Let cool until set.
This was a big hit with our friends, I've never seen cookies move so fast. For my own preference they were a little too sweet so maybe a little less sugar or more oats to even it out. This is also my first time using coconut oil, I like that it added a little flavor but it did not overwhelm the flavor of the chocolate or peanut butter but rather complimented it. I will definately be using it in furture recipes.
