Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free No Bake Sunbutter Oat Cookies and Bars

My girls love No Bake Chocolate Oat Clusters. However my dad is not a chocolate fan so I decided to try and make them with Sunbutter instead of chocolate. They were very good and stayed soft. Jazlyn liked dipping her cookies in chocolate syrup or topping them with safe chocolate chips.

No Bake Sunbutter Oat Cookies and Bars

3-4 cups quick oats
1/3 cup Sunbutter
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup soy milk
1/4 cup dairy free margarine

In a large bowl, combine the oats, Sunbutter and vanilla. Place the brown sugar, soy milk and margarine in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil, without stirring, for 1 minute. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the oat mixture then stir until thoroughly combined. Roll the mixture into balls, flatten them slightly then place them on wax paper until set.
* To make cookie bars, transfer the mixture into an 8x11 pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Press down firmly and evenly. Allow the mixture to cool before cutting into squares.
* If desired, you can stir some safe chocolate chips into the mixture.
