No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

The biggest test when I throw things together on a whim like this is my kids.   I am happy to say they love this one! 

I tend to keep a batch of these puppies in the fridge for a quick grab, healthy chocolate fix.  :)

Only a few ingredients are required, and a few minutes of your time!  

Ingredients:

5 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1/2 Cup Cacao Powder
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1/2 Cup Milk (regular, coconut, almond...take your pick!)
1/4 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
3/4 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
2 Cups Quick Oats

Directions:

In a saucepan add coconut oil, cacao, and milk.  Bring to a boil stirring constantly.   Remove from heat & add peanut butter, salt, vanilla; stir until smooth and until the peanut butter is melted.   

Add the oatmeal and mix until totally combined. 

Spoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and put in the fridge until they harden.   Remove from cookie sheet, and place in a container to store back in the fridge.  

Enjoy!
