Foodie Friday : no bake coconut cookies with almond butter

No bake cookies that whip up in a hot minute. Recipe by Caitlin of Real Swanky! Coconut oil helps firm up the cookies as it returns to it's more-so solidified state in the fridge.

Ingredients I

1/4 cup coconut oil, loosely scooped

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp dairy free cream

2 tbsp carob or cocoa powder

Ingredients II

1/3 cup nut butter (I used almond)

1 1/4 cups rolled oats

3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Vanilla

Up to 1/3 cup add-ins (chopped nuts, chocolate chips, dried cherries etc)

In a sauce pan, heat the oil in Ingredients I. Once fully melted, add in the remaining ingredients.

Let boil for a little under a minute and remove from heat. Add in all of Ingredients II, and stir until well combined.

With an ice cream scooper, scoop onto parchment paper on a 9x13 pan.

Refrigerate for a few hours (however, firms up best overnight).
