Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2/3 cup cacao powder
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats (rolled oats work too)
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the melted coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup or honey.
- Whisk Until Smooth: Whisk the wet ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Oats: Add the quick oats or rolled oats into the chocolate mixture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir well so that all oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture, creating a sticky, thick dough.
- Shape Cookies: Use a spoon to scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping into 12 evenly sized cookies.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour or until the cookies are firm and set.
- Store: Once firm, peel the cookies off the parchment paper.
- Transfer to Container: Place the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Refrigerate or Freeze: Store the cookies in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh and firm until ready to eat.
Notes
- You can substitute honey for maple syrup depending on your preference.
- Use rolled oats if you don’t have quick oats; the texture will be slightly chewier.
- Store cookies in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Make sure to melt the coconut oil gently to avoid overheating and preserve nutrients.
- These cookies are naturally dairy-free and can be vegan if using maple syrup instead of honey.
