This is my healthier version of an old childhood favourite. I remember scraping the hot cookies off the trays with a spoon as a kid, because I couldn’t wait for them to cool and set – yum!
The original recipe contained 2 cups of sugar (eek!!), so a few years ago I made up this version using honey or rice malt syrup. My kids love them even more than cooked bikkies as they’re so moist and chocolatey. I love them because they’re so quick and easy. They’re great for when you don’t want to turn the oven on but really want cookies.
Chocolate No-Bake Cookies
Ingredients
Instructions
1. Cook rice malt syrup, coconut sugar, cacao powder, coconut oil and rice/almond milk in Thermomix at 100C for 15 mins, speed 2.
2. Add vanilla extract and quinoa flakes. Mix on reverse speed 3 until combined.
3. Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto lined trays and place in freezer to set.
Notes
* If using quinoa flakes, leave in bowl for 10 minutes so flakes soften. If using oats, continue with the recipe as soon as mixed. *
To make these by hand
Heat the first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan on the stovetop, stirring. Allow to rapidly boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in remaining ingredients and drop by spoonfuls onto trays.
Hi Joe,
Is it possible to substitute the honey/rice malt syrup for dates?
I there a general rule to follow, when doing so? Eg: One date (or …g dates) is roughly equivalent to …g honey?
Thanks
Sadly a few days ago I found out that I am gluten intolerant, so all of my favourite recipes need to be changed and improved to my condition.
Happily I am able to find all of these amazing gluten free recipes and this one seems like a perfect place to start.
