Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture is smooth and combined, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Add peanut butter and vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
- Incorporate the oats: Add the gluten-free rolled oats to the peanut butter mixture. Stir well until all the oats are evenly coated.
- Shape the cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the mixture onto the prepared sheet, forming small mounds (about two tablespoons each). Flatten them slightly for even shape.
- Chill and set: Place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until they have firmed up.
- Enjoy: Once set, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy your delicious gluten-free no-bake cookies!
