Description
Delicious and easy no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies made with coconut oil, peanut butter, and quick oats.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick oats (also called instant oats)
Instructions
- Add melted coconut oil and peanut butter in a medium mixing bowl and stir until combined. Add coconut sugar, cocoa powder, almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla.
- If desired, you can heat the peanut butter cocoa mixture on the stovetop over medium low heat to fully dissolve the coconut sugar, about 5-6 minutes. Sometimes I do this and sometimes I don’t. Depends on how much time I have.
- Add oats to a large mixing bowl and top with peanut butter cocoa mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Using a small/medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands to press the dough down a bit and form the cookies into a cookie shape.
- Place baking sheet in fridge until cookies are set, then serve.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
Notes
- Cookies can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- For a sweeter taste, adjust the quantity of coconut sugar according to preference.
- Feel free to substitute almond butter for peanut butter if desired.
