Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup oats

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: Over medium heat in a small pot, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, and nut butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add Cocoa Powder: Stir in the cocoa powder until the mixture is uniformly smooth and chocolatey, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Incorporate Oats: Remove the pot from heat and add the oats. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat the oats with the chocolate mixture, being careful not to let the mixture boil.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop the mixture into 12 evenly sized cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, spacing them evenly.
  5. Set Cookies: Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies have set and are firm. Store the cookies in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh.

Notes

  • Use natural nut butter without added sugars or oils for a healthier option.
  • If your mixture is too runny, add a little more oats to help it set better.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to one month.
  • Vegan and gluten-free options are available by using certified gluten-free oats.
