Description

Bursting with rich peanut butter flavor and the satisfying crunch of cornflakes, these Healthy No Bake Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies are a dream come true for peanut butter aficionados.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • ½ cup maple sugar (or dry sugar of choice) *
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • Pinch sea salt *

Mix-In Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 5 cups organic cornflakes *

Optional Ingredients:

  • Vegan chocolate chips for drizzling, melted


Instructions

  1. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper, set aside.
  2. Measure out 5 cups of cornflakes and place into a large bowl, set aside.
  3. Place the all the Base Ingredients into a large stockpot, cook over medium-high heat stirring constantly so the syrup/sugar does not burn until the mixture comes to a boil. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds, ensuring all the sugar is melted, and the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and bubbly, then remove from the stove.
  4. Immediately stir in the vanilla, then quickly stir in the cornflakes. Mix until all the cornflakes are evenly coated.
  5. Using a large spoon, large cookie scoop, or ice cream scoop (with a trigger release) to drop batter onto the parchment paper or wax paper. Continue until all the mixture has been dropped onto the cookies sheet(s).
  6. Place the cookie sheets into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to harden. Once hardened, you can then transfer them to a cookie tin (or plastic container) and keep refrigerated.
  7. Optional: If drizzling with chocolate, heat the chocolate chips in a small saucepan (or microwave until melted), then drizzle the cookies with steams of chocolate. Refrigerate to harden the chocolate drizzle, then store in a cookie tin (or plastic container) in the refrigerator.
