Almond No Bake Energy-Protein Cookies
This recipe is vegan-adaptable (swap sugar for honey or agave about 1 cup instead of 2 cups) and less sweet. I also added almonds because I love nuts and wanted more protein in these! I feel like these could be a nice contribution to a holiday gathering and I encourage you to riff on them too, like adding coconut or sprinkles or whatever you love to the mix!
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 2/3 cup of honey or 1¼ sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup creamy, unsalted almond butter
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 3½ cups quick-cooking oats
- Put the honey/sugar, coconut oil, almond milk, sea salt and cocoa powder in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk until no lumps remain.
- Increase to medium heat and bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the almond butter and vanilla until combined.
- Put the oats and slivered almonds in a large bowl and pour mixture over top.
- Mix with a spoon until combined.
- Drop the dough by the tablespoonful or ice cream scooper onto wax paper.
- Cool in the refrigerator until set.
