10-Minute Chocolate Cookie Balls
These 10-minute no-bake chocolate cookie balls use just 6 wholesome ingredients for an easy, tasty snack that's also gluten-free and vegan!
Yield: 10 -12 cookie balls
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup soy milk, regular would be fine, too
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ cups oats, I use old-fashioned oats
Instructions
- Combine the maple syrup, milk and cocoa powder in a small pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add peanut butter and stir until it’s melted and combined.
- Turn off the heat then add the vanilla and oats and stir to combine.
- Let cool then roll into balls. (Wet your hands with some water to help them roll without sticking to you.)
- Once completely cooled, store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Oats: I use old fashioned rolled oats because that’s what I always have on hand, but you could use quick cooking oats too.
Maple syrup: I use maple syrup for mine but you could try them with honey or agave.
Peanut butter: You can substitute almond or cashew butter for the peanut butter if you prefer or if you need them to be nut-free. (I've done this when my kids had a nut-free classroom.)
Storing: You can store these cookie balls in a covered container in the fridge for up to a week.
