In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, honey, unsweetened almond milk, and coconut oil.
Stir the mixture frequently until the coconut oil has melted and the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This should take about 2–3 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and stir until they are well coated with the mixture.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each spoonful slightly with the back of the spoon to form a cookie shape.
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes or until they are firm and set.
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer for longer storage.
