No Bake Cookies!

These healthy no bake cookies are a must for anyone trying to avoid sugar! I decided to eliminate cane sugar from my diet at the beginning of the year.  However, I know myself too well.  I knew if I didn't have something sweet on hand I would most definitely end up "cheating".  Good prepation is the key to any new change in your diet.

These taste amazing!  I made them for a group gathering and EVERYONE wanted the recipe and couldn't believe they were actually healthy!

Ingredient List

1 cup of organic creamy peanut butter no sugar added 
1/2 cup organic coconut oil
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup organic honey (amount depends on your liking)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
6 TBSP organic cocoa powder
1/4 cup organic shredded coconut
2 3/4 cup organic rolled oats (make sure you don't use steel cut oats, it doesn't blend as well)

Begin by heating the peanut butter, coconut oil and honey in a medium saucepan on medium/high heat.  If you are using raw honey, make sure not to overheat the honey otherwise you will loose the added benefits of the raw honey.  I usually add the honey once the peanut butter and coconut oil are melted together.  Make sure to mix all three ingredients well.  Once it's all melted together, add the vanilla extract and stir.  Next add the cocoa powder, shredded coconut and the rolled oats.  Remove from heat and mix well.  Spoon onto waxed paper and let cool.  I put them in the refrigerator for faster cooling.  Once they are completely cooled, put them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator! 

These cookies are full of protein, fiber, and minerals!  Cocoa is also a superfood which gives added nutrition so eat eat 'em up guilt free!

I like to keep these healthy no bake cookies on hand any time I have an occasional chocolate or sweet craving!   I even take them on vacations with me!  Enjoy!
