Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup), then microwave for 30-45 seconds until slightly warm and easily mixable.

- Fold in the rolled oats, stirring gently but consistently to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- If using, sprinkle in shredded coconut and mix gently.
- Add chocolate chips and fold them into the mixture, allowing some to melt slightly from the warm ingredients.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten and shape each cookie if desired.

Tips
- Ingredient Temperature: Make sure your peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) are at room temperature. This will help them blend together smoothly and make the mixing process easier.
- Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat is crucial. It prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Mixing Technique: When combining the ingredients, fold gently but thoroughly to ensure that every bite is packed with flavor. This helps distribute the oats, chocolate chips, and optional coconut evenly.
- Chilling Time: Don’t skip the chilling step! Allowing the cookies to set in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes ensures they firm up nicely and hold their shape.
- Storage: Keep your no bake cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They stay fresh for up to a week, making them a great snack to have on hand.
- Customization: Feel free to get creative! Add your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to the mixture for a personal touch. The options are endless!
