Cook: 5 min
Yield: about 20 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup honey
  2. 1/4 cup coconut oil
  3. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  4. 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
  6. 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  7. 1/3 cup golden raisins
  8. 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  9. 2 tablespoons flaxseeds, wheat germ or chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine the honey, coconut oil, cocoa powder and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the coconut oil is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add the peanut butter and stir until completely melted, another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the oats. Cover with a lid for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir in the raisins, 1/3 cup of the coconut and the flaxseeds, wheat germ or chia seeds.
  3. Use a round tablespoon to scoop, then level, the mixture. Sprinkle with some of the remaining coconut and press lightly onto the cookie. Use a small offset spatula to gently coax the cookie onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, coconut-side down. The mixture will be a little delicate and sticky at this point. Lightly flatten the cookie with the spatula or your fingers. Repeat this process with the remaining cookie mixture, to make about 20 cookies total.
  4. Refrigerate the cookies on the baking sheet until they are completely chilled, at least 30 minutes. These cookies are best served very chilled.

Is a serving 1 cookie ?

So wonderfully easy to make

We love these cookies. I make in small pan and cut   Have Substituted almond butter with good results.   They have become our ‘quarantine’ brownies!

Will I get the same results if I substitute butter for the coconut oil?

These were delicious, and I loved how they used honey instead of refined sugar–much healthier! They do have to stay refrigerated, as coconut oil liquefies at 76 degrees F. Very close in taste to regular no-bakes, but much better for you! I used chia seeds instead of flax seeds–another healthy bonus that you don’t even notice!!

Very good start to a good cookie!  Will make this recipe again!

Disappointing. Couldn’t pinpoint which ingredient sent it over to the “yuck” side of the equation, probably the combination. We love all of the ingredients, usually, and are fans of no-bakes. They did not “set”, remaining gooey and sticky. A visit to the fridge may help. I probably will not make these again. :-/

NASTY!!!

Fabulous! While I’m sure they aren’t healthy, the natural products make this a very welcome cookie. Both my kids and I love traditional no-bake cookies, and we all loved these.

If you are considering trying them, you won’t be disappointed. Making my second batch today!
