We love anything that involves peanut butter and cookies.. so we are SO excited to bring you these peanut butter cookie bars! Not only do they contain just TEN ingredients, they are ready in about just about 30 minutes.

Plus, you probably have just about everything in your pantry, and if you don’t, we’ve recommended some substitutions you can try.

Disclaimer: we haven’t tried every substitution, but we think you’d have luck with them. If you do try out a substitution, your dough may have need some adjustments. Inspect it before you add the chocolate chips: if you find that your dough feels a little too dry, add a little extra nondairy milk. If you find that your dough seems sticky, add some extra flour.

You’ll need:

All-purpose flour (try subbing wheat flour or all purpose gluten free flour) measured correctly! Check out this post to learn how.

Baking soda

Salt

Brown sugar + white sugar (try subbing coconut sugar or another granulated sweetener)

Creamy peanut butter (swap for another nut butter or sunflower seed butter)

Vegan buttery sticks (swap for solid coconut oil or vegan margarine from the tub)

Plant milk (try any you have on hand)

Vanilla extract

Vegan chocolate chips (try substituting for vegan candies, nuts, or any type of chocolate)

If you make these, be sure to leave us a review in the comments section!

    Thank you for this recipe! I made it for my boyfriend’s birthday and we love it. I used coconut oil instead of vegan butter.
