If you’re craving something sweet but don’t fancy turning the oven on, these no bake vegan treats are exactly what you need.
Some of my best (and most popular!) sweet treats don’t need an oven. With just a handful of simple ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you can make everything from chocolate brownies and granola bars to almond butter bars and homemade mini Twix. They’re quick, easy and perfect for keeping in the fridge whenever you fancy something sweet.
These recipes prove that healthy treats don’t have to be boring (or complicated!). Most are made with simple, everyday ingredients and come together in just a few minutes, making them perfect for busy weeks (or when it’s boiling outside and you’d rather keep the kitchen cool!).
