I love simple. Truth be told, I also love complicated but these cookies are not complicated. One pot and that’s it. Easy breezy.

Another great thing about these cookies, besides the fact that they are super easy, is that instead of butter these babies feature coconut oil. The more I educate myself on the benefits of coconut oil the happier I get.

When something this delicious and versatile is so healthy for you I do little dances of joy. You know those non-believers, like those skeptics who ‘don’t like healthy food’? Hand them one of these cookies and dare them not to like it. Go on! Dare them! I dare you! Double dare, even. πŸ˜‰

They will be convinced and swaying them to the healthy side will have been so easy.

Because, I did mention these were easy, yes?

Here we go!

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE COCONUT OIL COOKIES

I rolled with coconut sugar for these cookies. I prefer it for my sweet treats for a few reasons. It’s not highly processed, it’s a safe option for diabetics and it also has a high mineral content.

Oh, and it’s so caramel-y and yummy.

Can’t forget that.

Combine the coconut sugar, coconut oil, cocoa powderΒ and some almond milk and bring them to a quick boil.

Cookie ingredients in a sauce pan

Stir in some peanut butter (I’m partial to the chunky, all natural kind), and a few chocolate chips.

I tossed in a little vanilla also. You can’t say they’re cookies without vanilla, am I right?

Add in the oats (choose certified gluten free if you avoid gluten).

Stir really well.

Drop heaping tablespoons onto parchment lined baking sheets.

Pop them into the fridge to set.

That’s it, folks!

You’re done.

If you want to win friends and influence people at work you can bring a batch of these cookies to them like I did. My stock rose a little because of them.

Yet, another plus.

    These were so delicious! I loved no bake cookies when I was able to eat gluten and dairy and these are absolutely a perfect substitute. I almost like these better because of the coconut!

    These look wonderful, but do I have to use the peanut butter? I’m gluten free, but my daughter is allergic to peanuts. I’m always on the lookout for recipes that fit both our needs.

      Hi Carie! The taste would change a bit but you could definitely use a different kind of nut or seed butter like almond or sunflower. I’m certain they would both taste wonderful in these cookies.

    Do you measure the coconut oil melted? Mine is solidified at room temp. Thank you!

    Do these have to be refrigerated so they harden? And if left at room temperature will they keep their shape? I usually make these with butter but I like the idea of using coconut oil instead. Thanks. Sue

      Hi Sue! I keep mine in the fridge. They could be OK at room temp, but like butter would really soften if your room is warmer. You will love these with the coconut oil. πŸ™‚

    Could you use milk chocolate chips? I know they don’t melt the same as dark and wondered if it would change the consistency of the cookie- not allow them to set as solid as they typically would. Thank you!

      Hey Rebecca! I’m sure the milk chocolate chips would work. I prefer using the dark chocolate for the health benefits. πŸ™‚

    Hi, I am very excited to make these cookies!! I’m going to make them as a little holiday treat. πŸ˜‰ I was wondering if the coconut oil is 1/2 cup melted or in solid form?? Do you think sunflower butter will work ok instead of peanut butter? I have a peanut allergy so I can’t do peanut butter. Also how long will they keep for in the fridge? Thanks so much! Sorry for all the questions! Can’t wait to make them!

      Hey Jenna! Don’t worry if it is solid or melted – it will be the same either way. πŸ™‚ I haven’t used sunbutter in this particular recipe but I have in many others and it will work just fine. πŸ™‚ You can keep these in the fridge for up to a week – if they last that long! πŸ˜‰ I hope you enjoy these and your holidays. xoxo
