Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (plant-based)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all measured ingredients to ensure quick and smooth mixing with balanced flavors.
  2. Warm the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter (plant-based), maple syrup (natural), apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and plant-based milk. Stir gently until warm and smooth to meld flavors.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder (natural), natural gelling agent, and a pinch of salt until evenly distributed.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the warm peanut butter blend into the dry ingredients, add vanilla extract (natural), and stir until fully combined and thickened. The mixture should hold together without being overly sticky.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment-lined trays and gently press into desired cookie shapes, adjusting size and thickness as preferred.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the cookies in the refrigerator for at least one hour to firm up and allow the natural gelling agent to set the cookies properly.

Notes

  • Use smooth peanut butter (plant-based) for a creamier cookie texture.
  • Do not skip chilling to ensure proper setting and prevent crumbling.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by tasting the mixture before chilling and adding more maple syrup (natural) if desired.
  • Measure oats carefully; too many make cookies dry, too few can cause them to fall apart.
  • Store cookies in a single layer to avoid sticking and preserve shape and texture.
