I’m loving no-bake recipes at the moment as they couldn’t be simpler to make and you don’t even need to turn the oven on! These triple chocolate cookie dough squares couldn’t be tastier with the soft cookie dough filled with cacao nibs and topped with creamy coconut oil chocolate!
This recipe is gluten free, low FODMAP, refined sugar free and vegan and makes the best indulgent treat. So if you’re anything like me and end up eating half the dough before you’ve even baked your cookies then these little squares are perfect for you!
Makes 16
INGREDIENTS
100g ground almonds
110g rice flour
40g cacao powder
25g cacao nibs
45g melted coconut oil (I used Cocofina)
105ml maple syrup
50ml coconut or unsweetened almond milk
125g smooth peanut butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Topping:
65g melted coconut oil
30ml maple syrup
25g cacao powder
30ml coconut or unsweetened almond milk
Cacao nibs to decorate (optional)
METHOD:
- Line the bottom of a 7×7 inch square cake tin with greaseproof paper
- Combine the ground almonds in a bowl with the rice flour, cacao powder and cacao nibs
- Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut milk, peanut butter and vanilla extract to your blender or food processor and pulse 4 times
- Pour the mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients
- Mix everything together until you have a sticky cookie dough
- Press the dough evenly into the lined cake tin
- Place the cake tin in the fridge for 2 hours to set the dough
- To decorate the cookie dough, mix together the ingredients for the topping until you have a smooth chocolate
- Pour the chocolate topping over the set cookie dough (sprinkle over the extra cacao nibs if using) then place back in the fridge for another 20 minutes
- Run a knife around the edge of the cake tin before removing the cookie dough and cutting it into squares
- Best eaten straight from the fridge
