Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar brown sugar can be substituted
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips see note 1
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1-1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Line 12 cavities in a miniature muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
  • Place a small pot over medium heat; combine the peanut butter and coconut oil in the pot. (Measure the coconut oil in its liquid state.)
  • Stir until smooth, then add in coconut or brown sugar and stir until sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is about to boil. (Do not boil!)
  • Remove from heat and add in chocolate chips; stir constantly until all the chocolate is melted. Add the vanilla and salt. Stir in the honey. Mix in the coconut and old-fashioned oats.
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop out and tightly compress the mixture into cookies. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, these don’t hold too well with your hands, so try to use two spoons to form balls.
  • Drop into the prepared muffin pan and place in the fridge for an hour (or freezer for about 15 minutes) until the cookies become solid. Once firm, you can remove them from the paper liner and compress them between your hands into a cookie shape (or eat them in ball shape).

Notes

Note 1: Dark chocolate is a healthier type of chocolate. If you prefer and don’t mind a less healthy treat, use milk chocolate.
Storage: These cookies are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge, but they can be left at room temperature.
