Instructions

• Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
• Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.
• Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients - In a separate bowl, mix nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until you achieve a creamy consistency.
• Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix everything until well combined. If desired, fold in chia seeds and any optional mix-ins.
• Step 5: Form the Cookies - Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and shape them into round cookie shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Step 6: Chill and Set - Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.
• Step 7: Enjoy Your Cookies - Once set, your Healthy No-Bake Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
