Equipment

  • Nonstick pan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted almond butter or peanut butter or any other nut butte
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats may need more depending on consistency
  • 1/3 cup coconut flakes, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds optional

Instructions

  • Place parchment or wax paper on two large baking sheets and set aside.
  • Place the almond butter and coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until almond butter and coconut have melted together.
  • Turn off heat and stir in maple syrup, almond extract and chocolate chips. Stir together off heat until chocolate is completely melted.
  • Add in the oats, coconut flakes and almonds. Stir together, it should have the same texture as a thick cookie dough. If the nut butter is too runny, you may need to add more oats.
  • Drop by rounded spoonfuls (I used a medium cookie scoop) onto the parchment paper and gently flatten with the back of the spoon or scoop. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and/or chopped almonds.
  • Place in the fridge to harden for at least 1 hour. They taste best when allowed to harden, but no judgements if you enjoy a few right after shaping!
  • Since most of the above ingredients are pantry staples, if you start now- you can enjoy these healthy no-bake chocolate almond cookies in less than 15 minutes!
