Discover the delicious and healthy way to satisfy your sweet cravings with Guilt-Free Bliss: Irresistible No-Bake Cookie Dough Bars. These vegan, gluten-free treats require no baking and are perfect for a quick snack or dessert, combining creamy cookie dough flavor with wholesome ingredients for a guilt-free indulgence.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 bars

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Add the gluten-free rolled oats and a pinch of sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated. If the mixture feels too soft, add a little extra oats to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips for that irresistible cookie dough flavor. Feel free to customize with additional toppings like chopped nuts or shredded coconut if desired.
  4. Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish, pressing down firmly to create an even layer. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
  5. Place the dish in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to firm up. Once chilled, cut into squares or bars.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, keep them in the freezer wrapped individually in plastic wrap.
  • You can customize the bars with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruits for added flavor.
