These 7-ingredient Soft and Chewy No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies packed with wholesome ingredients make the perfect healthy snack! Vegan and gluten-free.
Errrrmygerddddd the cookie gods have blessed me big time.
Life took a turn toward the crazies over the past couple weeks. I've found myself scrambling to get everything done and stay in one piece every time the weekend rolls around.
Today was one of those days where I had an endless to-do list involving spending some time at Alchemy, cooking/photographing/blogging this recipe, cooking a few things for the week so I don't go hangry, and multiple rounds of hanging my head over the sink doing the sinus rinse dance (hi, relentless sinus infection!).
Needless to say, 'tis a busy time! I started the day like any other Sunday with the fluffiest ever pancakes drenched in almond butter, blueberries, and maple syrup. Gotta start off strong when I know the day ahead is bound to be wild! Food first.
Then I thought about what I should make. What kind of food do I want when I know it's going to be a chicken-with-my-head-cut-off kind of week? NO BAKE COOKIES!! With seven ingredients of glory. The kind where I don't have to turn the oven on. The kind that are done less than fifteen minutes after I started making them.
Today's fantastical recipes comes from my dear pal Arman's very first (there'll surely be more) cookbook, Clean Sweets! This book holds a really special place in my hummus heart because I've known the boy behind The Big Man's World for a long time.
We both started blogs several years ago riddled with terribly blurry iPhone photography, tacky colored text, and the like.
The success I've seen from Arman is like nothing I've ever witnessed before. He blossomed nearly overnight from a newbie blogger to a celebrity-status no-bake bite king.
He pretty much owns Pinterest and coconut flour and all the protein powder in the land. What sets him apart is that he walks to the beat of his own drum. Every success he's had is a product of tons of passion and hard work. I always knew he'd do big things and it's been so fun watching it all unfold.
What you don't know about Arman is that despite his wild success in the blog world, he is still the hysterical beyond belief, caring, loyal, grounded soul I knew way back when The Big Man's World got three hundred page views a day.
When Arman lived in Cbus, he used to text me ordering me to swing by after work to try his latest creations. There was a period when my roommate would ask me on a weekly basis what desserts would be around that week.
Brownies, rice krispie treats, bars, blondies, bites, cookies...you name it, I had it. I was one spoiled lady! I miss seeing him posted up at Alchemy watching me slave away behind the counter while he edited photos and ate endless bowls of tuna kraut, but I know he's in a better place traveling the world and blessing other fair ladies with his treats.
The book is full of all the goodies I used to try and so many more. The focus is simple, high-protein desserts for one with plenty of gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan and paleo options. Basically anyone can enjoy his treats!
Peanut Butter Cheesecake Mousse, Thick and Creamy Mocha Ice Cream, Snickerdoodle Cake Bars, Deep Dish Skillet Brownie...I can't freaking wait to bake my way through this baby.
I feel super warm and fuzzy to be able to share this recipe with you today. If Arman were something edible, he'd be a no-bake bite---that's why I picked this recipe. Approachable, quick, tasty, and wholesome. The perfect package!
The original recipe calls for optional protein powder, which I omitted. I highly recommend using cashew butter for the nut butter if possible for the best cookie-like flavor.
Cookie on!
