Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the coconut oil, unsweetened cocoa powder, and honey. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble lightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the natural peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add the rolled oats to the mixture and stir until completely coated. If using, fold in the chia seeds and shredded coconut for added texture and nutrition.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the tops slightly with the back of the spoon to form cookie shapes.
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Once firm, transfer the cookies to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 1 month.
Enjoy as a quick and healthier chocolate treat!
