Wet Ingredients
- â…” cup coconut oil, melted
- â…” cup cacao powder
- â…“ cup maple syrup or honey
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ 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). This mixture forms the chocolate base for your cookies.
- Whisk Together: Whisk the wet ingredients thoroughly until smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain from the cacao powder.
- Add Oats: Add the quick oats or rolled oats into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. The oats provide texture and bulk to the cookies.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir well to coat all the oats evenly with the chocolate mixture, creating a consistent dough.
- Shape Cookies: Spoon portions of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping them into 12 evenly sized cookies.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for 1 hour or until the cookies become firm and set properly.
- Store: Once set, peel the cookies carefully off the parchment paper and transfer them to an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Refrigerate or Freeze: Keep the cookies stored in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on your preference for firmness and longevity.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey for a different flavor profile.
- Rolled oats can be used if quick oats are unavailable, though the texture will be slightly chewier.
- For added crunch, try adding chopped nuts or seeds into the mixture.
- Keep the cookies in the freezer for longer shelf life or in the refrigerator for a softer texture.
- Ensure cookies are tightly sealed in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing fridge odors.
