I don’t know about you, but I have a huge sweet tooth! After dinner I need something sweet, and let’s be honest… sometimes fruit just doesn’t cut it. I do not want a bowl of yogurt, I want a fudgy, chocolatey dessert! Anybody else?! Well, if that’s you or you know anyone like that, then I am about to rock your world!

These gluten free, dairy free, and vegan No-Bake Cookie Dough Bars are all the fun of eating cookie dough from the bowl, but without the salmonella poisoning! So that’s a win-win in my book. Made with all natural ingredients such as pure maple syrup, GF flour, and creamy peanut butter, these bars had me making multiple trips to the fridge for another one.

Ingredients in Cookie Dough Bars:

These are no-bake bars, which means that we will not be using eggs, but we don’t need them! The peanut butter creates all the structure needed to keep these bars from falling apart. Plus, it adds a super creamy texture and a deliciously nutty taste!

These bars have no need for sugar as we are using maple syrup. Which, in my opinion, is 10x better than store-bought white sugar.

The next ingredient is flour… which is a whole topic, so keep scrolling for info on that!

Lastly we have chocolate and coconut oil for the top. The chocolate layer is completely optional, but absolutely recommended!

Heat- Proofing Flour

Ok… so…

Basically, flour is not recommended to be eaten raw. This is for the same reason you are not supposed to eat raw eggs, but let’s be honest we have all done it! The safest way to eat raw flour is to heat-proof it in the microwave before. This ensures that all of the bacteria is killed off before ingesting! So before assembling these bars, just simply put your cup of flour in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool off, and continue baking!

Now for the reason you came…
