Ingredients You’ll Need to Make This No Bake Cookie Dough Bark

Every ingredient in this recipe plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect flavor and texture. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Sunflower seed butter OR another nut butter is the base of the recipe. It adds a creamy texture while providing healthy fats.
• Vanilla protein powder enhances the cookie dough flavor while also adding nutritional value and gives a subtle sweetness. This is my favorite plant-based protein powder right now.
• Oat flour acts as a binding agent and adds a cookie taste. It’s also safe to eat without cooking, unlike traditional flours. Instead of buying oat flour you can use any oats and grind them into flour-like consistency in a high-powered blender or food processor.
• Salt enhances the overall flavor balance.
• Mini chocolate chips is a cookie essential! The chocolate is the only source of added sugar in this recipe for a touch of sweetness and a delightful texture contrast.

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

Before you start, make sure you have these essential kitchen tools:

• Mixing bowl – For combining all the ingredients smoothly.
• Spatula – Helps in mixing and spreading the dough evenly.
• Parchment paper
• Small baking sheet – Ensures the bark doesn’t stick and makes for easy cleanup.
• Microwave-safe bowl – For melting the chocolate chips to create the topping.

How to Make No Bake Cookie Dough Bark

Follow these simple steps to prepare your no-bake cookie dough bark:

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the sunflower seed butter, vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
2. Fold in the mini chocolate chips: Gently mix in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
3. Spread the Dough: Place the mixture on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spread it into an even layer, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
5. Add the Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted chocolate over the bark and spread it evenly.
6. Freeze and Set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the bark and chocolate harden.
7. Cut and Serve: Once set, break or cut the bark into pieces and enjoy!

Tips for Success
