These taste exactly like regular no-bake cookies, except we're using TVP where we would normally use oats! It's the perfect easy high protein snack, and it doesn't even use protein powder!
Servings
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Vegan Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Soy Milk
- 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/2 cup TVP Textured Vegetable Protein
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the dried TVP with 1/2 cup of water. Mix really well because this is how we are softening the TVP before we add it to our cookies! Allow this to soften for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large pot, add vegan butter, sugar, soy milk, cocoa powder and salt. Melt everything down and mix.
- Bring to a hard boil for 3 minutes, while continuously stirring. You should set a timer for this step because it's really important in helping the cookies set.
- Remove from heat.
- Add the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Stir really well.
- Add the softened TVP to the peanut butter chocolate mixture and stir until all of the TVP is well coated.
- Using a 2 tablespoon scooper (or just a spoon), drop 2 tbsp of the dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You should end up with about 20 cookies. Because TVP is less dense than oats (that you'd typically use), it helps to press the dough down and try to compact it so it will be easier to pick up when it sets.
- Refrigerate the cookies for 60 minutes. It should be noted that they don't set up as great as normal no-bake cookies (made with oats), but they are truly delicious!
