Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: Gently melt the plant-based chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy. Set aside but keep warm to maintain fluidity.
  2. Combine Peanut Butter and Liquid Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully blended into a smooth mixture that’s thick but easy to mix.
  3. Stir in the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the rolled oats and a pinch of salt into the peanut butter mixture. Then sprinkle in the natural gelling agent. Mix well to ensure every oat is coated and the dough begins to come together without crumbling.
  4. Incorporate Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted plant-based chocolate into the oat and peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula to fold everything together evenly, forming a rich, sticky cookie dough that is luscious and thick.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the dough onto a parchment-lined tray. Flatten each mound gently with the back of the spoon or your fingers to create classic cookie shapes. Leave space between cookies for easy handling.
  6. Set and Chill: Place the tray in the refrigerator and let the cookies set for at least 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Once set, they are ready to enjoy, chewy and packed with flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help mixtures combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not skip the natural gelling agent; it helps cookies hold their shape without baking.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup based on your peanut butter and chocolate.
  • Press cookies firmly when shaping to improve texture and ease of eating.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and chewiness.
