Every single ingredient used to make healthy no bake peanut butter fudge cookies was hand selected to create the healthiest dessert possible.

Peanut Butter

I use peanut butter all the time in healthy baking recipes. It contains healthy amounts of protein, antioxidants, and magnesium.

Maple Syrup

This is just the best all-natural sweetener! It tastes delicious and doesn’t include nearly as much sugar as processed white sugar.

Chocolate Chips

When choosing my chocolate, I like to go for all-natural and organic brands. Ones that do not have preservatives or artificial ingredients!

Coconut Flour

When compared to all-purpose flour, coconut flour is far more nutrient-rich. In fact, this type of flour contains protein, fiber, calcium, and iron. Plus it is grain free and gluten free!

How to make vegan peanut butter fudge cookies

My favorite thing about this simple and easy no bake cookie recipe (besides the taste of course) is how easy they are to make! This recipe is the absolute perfect healthy dessert; plus, these vegan cookies are grain free, gluten free, and low carb!

First, line a baking tray that will fit in your freezer with parchment paper.

Then, in a large bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and coconut flour.

After that, roll 8 – 10 balls and gently flatten to a thick patty shape. Don’t make them too thin! And freeze for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, let’s prepare the crunchy chocoalte shell. First, add your favorite chocolate and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave again for 20 seconds. Stir. Continue this process until your chocolate is completely melted.

Once cookies are ready, dunk each one into the chocolate and fish out using two forks or spoons. Then, freeze for additional 20 minutes to set chocolate.
