It’s finally hot here in Montreal after weeks of everyone complaining about the weather being too cold. And I spent all morning outside in the sun watching my kids play in the pool so, needless to say, I don’t want to be turning on the oven today unless absolutely necessary. I think you know what’s coming now… No-Bake Cookies, obviously! 😉 Yeah, these are good ones! I also hope you appreciate that they are egg-less and contain no flour so to make them GF you just need to use gluten-free oats and voila! Easy Peasy and super yummy. I keep these in the fridge and find they are best a day or two after you make them, they get harder and more fudgey… yum. Okay, go make them now and then go enjoy this beautiful weather!
