Ingredients
- 1 cup of old fashioned oats
- 1 cup of granola I used chocolate pecan but a chocolate granola would work well.
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 6 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- Pinch of salt
- Splash of vanilla
Optional toppings:
- Drizzle of chocolate + pecans
Instructions
-
Pulse your oats and granola in a high speed blender until they are broken up but not powder. *alternatively, use quick oats!
-
Pour your oats into a medium sized bowl and set aside.
-
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil, maple syrup and almond butter together until the mixture starts to bubble.
-
Add in the cacao powder and stir until completely combined. Take the sauce pan off the heat and add in the salt and vanilla.
-
Pour the mixture over the oats and stir until well combined. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes until you’re able to touch it.
-
Using an ice cream scoop or your hands, scoop out equally sized cookies and place them on a parchment lined plate. Place the plate in your refrigerator until the cookies have cooled completely - about 30 minutes.
-
To add the optional toppings, simply drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate once they’re cooled. Top them with a whole pecan and place them back in the refrigerator until set and enjoy!
