My friend Emily and her husband owned a coffee shop in Colorado where they had all sorts of healthy, delicious, homemade goodies and these cookies were one among all the other treats. Now, I have to be honest and say that I am not a huge fan of no bake desserts BUT these cookies completely changed my opinion on no bake sweets. They are packed with really healthy stuff like almond butter, oats, chia seeds and sweet honey. When Emily gave me the recipe I didn't have all the ingredients so I substituted some things but no worries I will give you both recipes because I made the original as well and it was simply divine. Here is my version:
Ultimate No Bake Cookies
1 cup oats
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup coconut
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Mix, form into balls, & ENJOY!
Emily's recipe:
1 cup oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup coconut
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips/cocoa nibs
Mix, form into balls, flatten & enjoy!
You can get really creative and use dried cranberries, cocoa powder, sprinkle of sea salt-- the list is endless. Give these little guys a try you will be SOLD!
