- ½ cup honey [1] or maple syrup [2]
- ¼ cup coconut oil [3]
- ¼ cup cocoa powder [4]
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon [5]
- ½ cup peanut butter [6]
- 1 cup quick oats*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract [7]
Combine first 4 ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes and remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla.
Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. I like to store mine in the freezer, but the fridge also works if you don’t want them quite so hard. Makes about 12 cookies.
*You can substitute some dried coconut [8] for the oats, especially if you want gluten free.
