no bake coconut cookies or healthy almond joys?


Last month, I shared my gluten free, dairy free no bake oatmeal cookie recipe. Unfortunately, the oatmeal still seems to affect Lucas' skin, so I had to stop making them.

Then I thought, well coconut and oatmeal are kind of the same consistency, maybe I could substitute coconut for the oatmeal.

Let me tell you..they are so yummy! And, I can't decide if they are more like no bakes or almond joys! 

I'd love to hear what you think if you decide to make them! They are SUPER easy!! :)


ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut oil
3 tbsp almond butter (crunchy is better)
1/2 cup of honey

mix ingredients in a pan on the stove and boil for 1 minute. 
Remove from heat and add the following:

4-5 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
3-4 cups coconut

Mix together and drop by spoonful onto parchment paper until they harden slightly. They will be softer cookies.

Enjoy 1 or 2 or 5.... :) 

Happy Friday!

  2. Hi Kristina, I clicked over from Pamela's Heavenly Treats. You have a lovely blog and oh my goodness do your no bake cookies look good. We are not a coconut loving family, but we do like oatmeal so perhaps I'll try to make them that way instead.

    Have a great weekend!

  10. These loans not only exists, but which are all in the internet and in case you
    have a good credit score getting a loan of around $10,000 will probably be very
    easy to suit your needs ppir.at a large number of borrowers today are frustrated concerning
    the advantage that they are able to't get a az mortgage.
