Equipment

  • 1 medium saucepan
  • 1 cookie sheet

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Method

  • Add the peanut butter, coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until melted and completely smooth.
  • Stir in the cocoa powder and rolled oats until fully combined. Cook and stir for another 2–3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and quickly scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm. Enjoy or store in an airtight container!

Notes

  • Work quickly when scooping - the mixture firms up fast once off the heat!
  • Use certified gluten-free oats to keep this recipe completely gluten-free.
  • Any nut or seed butter works as a peanut butter substitute.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • These are also delicious eaten straight from the freezer!
