Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (natural or regular)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined (about 3–4 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt.
- Add the gluten-free rolled oats to the mixture, stirring until the oats are fully coated. If the mixture seems too dry, add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter or coconut oil.
- Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon for a cookie shape.
- Let the cookies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
- Once the cookies are firm, they’re ready to enjoy!
Notes
If your mixture feels too sticky or wet, add a small handful of extra oats to balance it out. For chewier cookies, use quick oats instead of rolled oats. For chunkier cookies, add chopped nuts or seeds.
