No-Bake Cookie Dough Bars With A Secret Ingredient!
If you love cookie dough AND chocolate then look no further. This is the right recipe for you as it combines cookie dough, a raw brownie base, and a rich chocolate layer. Oh, and I forgot the chocolate chips within the cookie dough layer. If you have a sweet tooth you gotta check out these no-bake cookie dough bars.
No-Bake Cookie Dough Bars Variations
This recipe can be made with or without the raw brownie base. I tried both versions and liked both. If you love chocolate then I would recommend adding the brownie layer. However, if you are in a hurry then simply leave it out. The bars will still satisfy your chocolate cravings because of the fudgy chocolate layer and the chocolate chips. They are, of course, easier to make if you leave out the brownie bottom.
Chickpea Cookie Dough Layer
For the cookie dough, I used chickpeas (white beans work as well), sunflower seed butter (any other nut/seed butter will be fine), coconut flour, Erythritol (you can use regular powdered sugar), vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, baking soda (for the cookie dough taste), and dairy-free chocolate chips. Don’t worry, these vegan cookie dough bars won’t taste like chickpeas! They taste like delicious cookie dough which most people love!
Homemade Chocolate Fudge Layer
The rich chocolate layer is homemade with Raw Organic Cacao Butter from SUNFOOD which I love because it has a pleasant chocolate aroma. Did you know that cocoa butter is actually a superfood? It contains antioxidants (like polyphenols), it’s amazing for our skin (can minimize stretch marks and scars) and even helps balance mood-regulating hormones. It’s important to use RAW cacao butter though since it retains more of the vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. I have already used Sunfood’s amazing cocoa butter in some other recipes, for example in these vegan Snickers bars.
Nut-Free Recipe
Many vegan cookie dough bars are made with almond flour. However, since nut-allergies are a common problem I made these no-bake cookie dough bars nut-free. You can, of course, use almond flour instead of coconut flour or nut butter instead of seed butter if you aren’t allergic to nuts.
