Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil Helps cookies firm up when chilled.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Provides sweetness and binds the mixture.
  • 1/2 cup nut butter Use your preferred nut butter for richness.
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder Use a full measurement for deep chocolate flavor.
  • 1 cup oats Gives the cookies a satisfying chew.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper for easy portioning.
  2. In a small pot over medium heat, combine coconut oil, maple syrup, and nut butter. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add cocoa powder and stir until fully dissolved, ensuring no dry cocoa remains at the bottom.
  4. Stir in the oats until fully coated, keeping the heat gentle to avoid boiling.
  5. Drop spoonfuls onto the prepared sheet and shape them quickly while the mixture is still warm.
  6. Freeze for 20 minutes, or until firm to the touch.

Notes

Best served cold from the fridge. Store in the refrigerator for a firm texture or in the freezer for longer storage. Let frozen cookies soften slightly before eating.
