Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans.
- Add in the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and forms a sticky mixture.
Shaping
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small dough balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Chilling
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies firm up.
Optional Topping
- If desired, melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle over the chilled cookies. Sprinkle with sea salt for an extra touch of flavor.
Serving
- Once set, enjoy them immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later.
Notes
You can easily substitute almond butter with any nut butter you prefer. For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture. To make it vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey and stick to vegan-friendly chocolate for drizzling. For nut-free option, substitute the nut butter with sun butter or tahini.
