Vegan no-bake coconut cookies recipe
Unbelievably delicious 4 ingredient cookies that are made in only 10 minutes. You don't have to bake them and you won't need any fancy ingredients for making them. If you loved Bounty before going vegan, then you will love these vegan no-bake coconut cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup almonds (raw)
- 1 1/4 cup desiccated coconut (finely shredded)
- 5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 5 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Add into a food processor the almonds and blend for 1-2 minutes until flour is formed. Be careful not to over blend the almonds because they will start to transform into butter. Some unblended almonds chunks are fine, as long as you like the texture of them in your cookies.
- Into a relatively big bowl, add the coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir slightly.
- Then add the almond flour along with the coconut flakes and mix until well combined. If you feel that the mixture is too liquid, add a bit more coconut flakes or almond flour.
- Take a few tbsp of cookie dough and make out of it a cookie. The size doesn't matter as long as we don't bake them.
- After the cookies are made, put them into the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.I like to put them in a container, covering each layer of cookies with parchment paper. Then, I pop them in the freezer.
- Store them in the freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
- It is better to use desiccated coconut because the flakes are finely shredded so the cookies will hold better.
- You can form bites out of the dough. I think it’s easier to make a round form than a cookie form, but I prefer cookies (yes, I am aware that the taste is the same, but still…).
- Play with the ingredients, add some walnuts or chocolate chips. Or some aroma, like a bit of lime juice or vanilla. It’s always fun to be creative.
- If the dough is not moist and sticky enough, add more coconut oil/maple syrup (1-2 tbsp). Or, if you feel that it's too watery, add some coconut flakes or almond flour.
