MATERIALS

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla

PROCEDURE

1. Mix all ingredients in food processor or blender.

3. Enjoy!

THE RUNDOWN

This is NOT a healthy recipe, but it is much better than some alternatives and you can pronounce every ingredient that's included. Pro tip - non dairy ice cream freezes harder than dairy ice cream so serve right after making or leave out on the counter a few minutes after pulling out of the freezer before serving. Also, if you don't have an ice cream maker - you can put in the freezer and stir every hour, but it will not be as smooth.

MATERIALS

Makes ~55 cookies or a 9x13 pan of bars

  • 8 tbsp non-dairy butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 3 flax eggs (3 tbsp ground flax plus 8 tbsp water)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp dark corn syrup, optional
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 4 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup M&Ms

PROCEDURE

Prep: Make flax eggs in a small bowl by mixing the ground flax and water and letting sit for ~5 minutes.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar. This is a fancy way of saying mix together until well blended. Continue to add ingredients in the order listed and mix.

3. Decide whether you want to do cookies or bars. Hint: Bars are quicker and just as tasty.

3a. Cookies: Scoop ~1.5 tbsp of dough onto cookie sheet and flatten (~12 cookies per batch). Bake for ~10 minutes or until just slightly starting to brown on edges.

3b. Bars: Spread into 9 x 13 pan and bake for ~22 minutes or until top is just starting to brown.

THE RUNDOWN

Peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips, and M&Ms - what more could you want in a cookie? This is definitely not a healthy recipe and should be used sparingly. Pro tip - Use a stand mixer if you have it. The dough is pretty darn thick.
