You only need 15 minutes to prepare these no-bake orange chocolate chip cookies. They’re soft and chewy with hints of orange and chunks of dark chocolate and contain NO dairy, eggs, gluten, grains, or refined sugar.
Soft, chewy, zesty, with a hint of orange and chunks of dark chocolate. That’s how these No-Bake Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies taste in a nutshell.
Baking is not my favorite thing to do. I have a hard time sticking to exact ingredients and measurements since I tend to improvise with recipes all the time! That’s why ever since I discovered the art of “unbaking” I’ve become a huge fan. I love all kinds of raw treats from energy balls to unbaked cakes, brownies, and cookies. So it was about time I tried to create a simple and easy chocolate chip cookie recipe that didn’t require baking.
The texture of these No-Bake Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies is different from the traditional chocolate chip cookies. You won’t get that crunchy exterior. However, if you’re feeling like a delicious no-fuss healthy treat with a soft and chewy texture, you must give these cookies a try!
I added a scoop of my favorite protein powder, Genuine Health’s fermented vegan proteins+ to bump up the protein content. I love this brand because first of all, it tastes so much better than everything else I’ve tried in the market. Moreover, it has a very balanced blend of vegetable proteins made from seven high-quality fully fermented vegan ingredients, such as organic quinoa sprouts, spirulina, hemp, mung bean sprouts, and brown rice.
Genuine Health’s advanced fermentation process makes the nutrients much easier to digest and absorb, allowing us to get more of all the goodness that’s actually inside the product. Therefore, it can improve digestive health and eliminate problems like gas and bloating.
I chose the unflavoured version for this recipe since I didn’t want to alter the taste of the ingredients. Click here to find out where you can buy fermented vegan proteins+, in case you are interested.
Hope you get to try and enjoy these healthy No-Bake Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies as much as we did! Don’t forget to leave a comment below or tag me in your posts on Instagram or Facebook @Nutriholist if you make them 🙂
