I’m obsessed with no-bake cookies! Anything that eliminates the guessing game of baking is a winner in my book. These are the healthier option to “normal” no-bakes because these cookies are free of gluten, refined sugar and dairy. The perfect combination if you have a diva stomach like myself. Enjoy!

If you have peanut butter on hand, then no need to make from scratch. I bought Peanut Butter Powder because there weren't any nut butters on sale and this was the cheaper option.
Since I made my own peanut butter, I added honey to it. Therefore, if you use peanut butter without added sugar, then you will probably want to increase your Maple Syrup amount.
