Recipe Ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oats<\/strong>: I used rolled oats for these no-bake chocolate pb cookies. They give a hearty, chewy texture that we love. You can also make these cookies with quick oats. The recipe works with either. Switch to certifies gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweetener<\/strong>: Date syrup was a personal preference. Feel free to substitute it with honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peanut Butter:<\/strong> I used creamy peanut butter as that's what I had on hand. But if crunchy peanut butter is what you love, use that for these peanut butter cookies. You can even replace it with any nut or seed butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocoa powder:<\/strong> For that deep chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate:<\/strong> You can use chocolate chips or a roughly chopped chocolate bar. I prefer to use 55% or 70% dark chocolate. If you enjoy a sweeter and milder chocolate, use that. Keep the chocolate dairy-free for a vegan treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil:<\/strong> This binds the cookie dough and also adds richness. You can use melted butter if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
