Description

Delightfully simple and delicious no-bake peanut butter cornflake cookies made with smooth peanut butter, vegan marshmallows, and crispy cornflakes. These vegan-friendly treats are perfect for a quick snack or dessert, combining creamy, crunchy, and sweet elements without any baking required.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 10 oz mini vegan marshmallows
  • 7 cups cornflakes

Optional Ingredients

  • Peanut butter chips
  • Vegetable oil (for melting peanut butter chips)


Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter and smooth peanut butter together, stirring gently to combine without burning.
  2. Add Vegan Marshmallows: Stir in the mini vegan marshmallows into the melted mixture until fully melted and smooth, then remove the pot from the heat.
  3. Incorporate Cornflakes: Gently fold the cornflakes into the melted mixture, coating them evenly. Add remaining mini vegan marshmallows and optional peanut butter chips, mixing carefully to avoid crushing the cornflakes.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a greased cookie scooper, drop equal portions of the mixture onto parchment paper. Press lightly to shape each portion into a cookie.
  5. Decorate: Melt additional peanut butter chips with a small amount of vegetable oil in the microwave until smooth. Drizzle this over the cookies to add an extra peanut butter flavor and decorative touch.
  6. Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes or until firm before serving.

Notes

  • For a nut-free alternative, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
  • Ensure the vegan marshmallows you use are truly vegan, as some brands contain gelatin.
  • You can add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter to enhance flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • To speed up setting, place cookies in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
