Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter for a twist)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of fine sea salt

Optional toppings: crushed nuts or seeds, cacao nibs for extra crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure your cookies do not stick and make for easy cleanup.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter (or almond butter), honey (or maple syrup), unsweetened cocoa powder, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Use a spatula or whisk to mix until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

      Combine with Oats: Gradually add the rolled oats and shredded coconut to the wet mixture. If you're using dark chocolate chips, fold them in now. Stir everything together gently, ensuring that the oats and coconut are fully coated and evenly incorporated into the mixture.

        Form the Cookies: With clean hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball and then gently flatten them to create cookie shapes. Place the formed cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for easy removal.

          Chill for Firmness: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the cookies chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps the cookies firm up, making them easier to handle and enhancing their flavors.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once the cookies have set, they are ready to indulge! Enjoy your Nutty Oatmeal Bliss No-Bake Cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week for a quick snack or dessert.
