Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil Helps the cookies firm up once chilled.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Adds sweetness and glossy texture.
  • 1/2 cup nut butter Any nut butter works for richness.
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder Provides the rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1 cup oats Gives texture and structure to the cookies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
  2. In a small pot over medium heat, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, and nut butter. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  3. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and stir until fully dissolved, achieving a uniform dark chocolate color.
  4. Add oats and stir until well combined, ensuring every oat is coated and there are no dry patches.
  5. Portion the mixture into 12 cookies on the prepared sheet, shaping them as desired.
  6. Freeze for about 20 minutes or until the cookies feel firm and can be lifted cleanly.
Storage
  1. Store the cookies in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them firm and ready to snack on.

Notes

For best results, keep the heat moderate, fully dissolve the cocoa, and shape the cookies while the mixture is warm. These are best served cold for a firm texture.
