Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 2 Tbsp shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
- 2 Tbsp chopped chocolate
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 Tbsp honey (adjust as desired)
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey until smooth and well blended.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the oats, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut until the mixture is fully combined and holds together.
- Form cookies: Using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture per cookie, roll it into cookie or patty shapes and place them on a plate or tray.
- Melt chocolate: In the microwave, melt the chopped chocolate with the coconut oil by heating briefly in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Drizzle chocolate: Spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate over each cookie evenly to add a rich finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cookies for at least one hour to firm up before serving. This helps the cookies to hold their shape and allows the chocolate to set.

- Adjust honey quantity to modify sweetness according to taste.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure the oats are certified gluten-free.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- You can substitute walnuts with other nuts like almonds or pecans if preferred.
