Stir
Place the quick oats and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine them. Pour the peanut butter mixture over top of the oats and stir with a spoon until everything is well incorporated.
Form
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Wet your hands a little bit and carefully push each cookie down a little bit.
Chill
Place the cookie sheet in the fridge until set. Serve and enjoy!
Top Tips for making the BEST Vegan No Bake Cookies
I’m always up for swapping tips and tricks in the kitchen with my friends because those little pointers can make or break a recipe! Here are a few that I have to share with you that will make these cookies turn out awesome:
- Use Runny Peanut Butter: I suggest using an all-natural, no-stir peanut butter for this cookie recipe. I recommend using runny peanut butter rather than the hard stuff at the bottom of the container, as it will ensure the texture is perfect!
- Use Quick Oats: It is important that you use quick oats rather than regular rolled oats for this recipe. Since it is a no bake cookie recipe, quick oats will provide the right consistency and texture to make them great.
- Form them with your Hands: Before chilling your cookies, I recommend dampening your hands to form the cookies a bit. This will make sure they don’t fall apart when they are set and you are serving them.
Storage
These easy no bake vegan cookies shouldn’t be kept at room temperature, as they may melt and become sticky. I recommend storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5-7 days and serving them cold! They will keep well in the freezer in a container for up to 3 months.
Vegan No Bake Cookies FAQ
Absolutely! All Natural Peanut Butter is a fantastic vegan choice as it’s high in healthy fats and protein which can be helpful when avoiding meat products.
This totally depends on the type of chocolate! If your chocolate does not contain dairy or other animal products, it is considered vegan. The chocolate chips in this recipe are dairy free, so they are vegan friendly.
Not for this recipe, as rolled oats are too hard whereas quick oats are softer and provide a better texture.
