Equipment

  • Container to soak your oatmeal
  • a strainer or slotted spoon
  • 3 cookie sheets
  • double boiler
  • measuring spoons
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar to soak the oatmeal
  • 3 cups Soaked rolled oats
  • 1.5 cups cocoa
  • 1.5 cups honey
  • 1.5 cups peanut butter
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • First you'll want to soak your rolled oats. You want to plan this recipe a day ahead.
  • To do this, simply take a glass bowl or jar and add your rolled oats. Add your water and apple cider vinegar.
  • Cover with a lid and set aside. Let soak overnight, roughly 12 hours.
  • In the morning empty your soaked oatmeal into a colendar lined with cheese cloth or something of the like. You can also pour it out into a bowl and strain the oats with a slotted spoon. Allow it to strain out as much of the liquid as possible.
  • Once your oats are strained, set aside.
  • Prepare your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a double boiler (I used a small glass bowl over a pot of boiling water), add your peanut butter and coconut oil.
  • Stir until completely melted and incorporated together. Do not let it go to boil.
  • Once melted, remove from heat and add your cocoa and stir together well so there are no lumps.
  • Add your salt, vanilla and honey then mix well.
  • Gently fold in your oats.
  • Spoon about 1/8 cup spoon fulls onto your prepared cookie sheets.
  • Refrigerate until solid.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Note: Store in the refrigerator for best results. Cookies will be very soft if left on the counter at room temperature.
