Sugar-Free, Nut-Free, Dairy-Free Vegan No Bake Cookies

Wahoo! I finally figured out how to make these! Now, you might be thinking that you're missing the peanut taste but for those of us who are allergic to peanuts AND tree-nuts this is a great alternative!

What you'll need
2 medium - just spotted bananas - cut into chunks & mashed
10 dates soaked in water - I usually put them in a pint jar with about 3/4 filled with water- then put all of that in a food processor & blend
2 oz unsweetened chocolate - DO NOT USE POWDER! needs to be the actual chocolate squares
1 Tbs Rice Dream (only needed if you use nut butter)
pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp stevia POWDER - do NOT use the liquid!
2 c. Gluten free or regular quick cooking oats.
(if you want to add 1/4 c. almond butter - yummy for all you who can eat nuts :)

Take the date mixture & boil - add the mashed banana until it is thoroughly mixed. take off heat immediately & add chocolate squares, rice dream, salt, & vanilla. mix until the chocolate has fully melted. Add stevia until mixed in well & then add the oats. Use a spoon to make individual cookie drops on wax paper & let cool - as it cools it should harden. Mine took forever - so based on a hint from another blogger, I stuck them in the freezer & it helped a little. I think the reason might be that my bananas were a little big - so you might want to try one or 1 1/2 bananas instead of 2 full....

Pictures to come! These are YUMMY!!
