Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option), at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons raw coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons granulated stevia or monkfruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup no-sugar-added dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, 1/2 cup of the peanut butter and 1/2 cup water until smooth. Add the coconut oil, stevia, vanilla and salt and mix until smooth.
- Using a spatula, fold in the oats, making sure all the oats are well soaked. Let sit for about 10 minutes, until the mixture becomes firm. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix with a spatula to evenly distribute them. (Oats are naturally gluten-free, but to be sure this recipe is gluten-free, use gluten-free oats.)
- Using an ice cream scoop, portion cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and press down lightly to flatten them. (The number of cookies will depend on the size of the scoops you make.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter and 1/2 teaspoon water. Drizzle the peanut butter over the tops of the cookies and let set at room temperature, about 15 minutes. Store wrapped in parchment paper to keep them fresh up to a week.
