3 “INGREDIENT” PB & OREO COOKIE BARS – Easy Vegan Recipe

[ RECIPE BELOW ] I made these bars for my non-vegan friends for a potluck dinner last week and they all LOVED THEM!! While they may not be the healthiest they are super easy to make if you’re pressed for time – and who doesn’t love peanut butter, Oreos, and cookie dough?!

INGREDIENTS – (see notes below for additional details)
2 tubs of Eat Pastry Vegan Cookie dough, or other vegan dough of choice
12+ chocolate sandwich cookies
1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
2 tbsp water

DIRECTIONS –
(1) Preheat oven to 350 F
(2) Line a 9×11 pan (or 9×13) with parchment paper
(3) Spread 1 tub of cookie dough evenly across the base of the pan
(4) Firmly press a layer of sandwich cookies into the dough
(5) Mix 1/4 cup of powdered peanut butter with 2 tbsp of water, and then fill in the gaps created by the cookies with the mixture
(6) Place a the second tub of cookie dough on top of this layer; it helps to flatten the dough out a little first since the cookies and pb are kind of mushy
(7) Top with 1-2 crushed cookies, if you have any extra
(8) Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out cleanly
(9) Let bars cool in pan, then remove and cut accordingly
(10) Enjoy! Sharing is optional 😉

NOTES + SUBS =
– While I cannot guarantee the same results if you choose to make your own cookie dough, here are two recipes you could try. I would probably double them to make sure you have enough:

(GF)
– I happened to have one tub of regular cookie dough and one tub of gluten free cookie dough, but two tubs of the same type will work as well
– You can substitute regular peanut butter (or any nut butter) for powdered PB if you do not have any
– If you do not have parchment paper, you can lightly grease the pan instead
– As many vegans do not like to support OREOs because they contain palm oil, you can use any other chocolate sandwich cookie of your choice. I happened to get these from ALDI and I thought they tasted identical. To learn more about why Palm Oil is not ethical, watch the video below:
