That feeling when the recipe turns out to be a success. Priceless! These flour-free coconut cookies filled with dark chocolate and peanut butter will brighten up the cold days ahead. As the days get colder and sadly, a little shorter, it’s time to start thinking of comfort food.
I’m so happy to share with you this simple and easy recipe! The main three ingredients are oats, coconut, and dark chocolate. What I love about these coconut cookies filled with dark chocolate is the fact that they set you up for your morning routine in no time flat along with a cup of coffee, tea or why not a cold glass of milk.
As a coffee lover, I had to try them this morning next to my first cup of coffee instead of my daily bowl of granola with Greek yogurt and fruits. They make your coffee taste even better so every cup is a true delight to your taste buds.
These vegan cookies are also the perfect healthy snack between 11 am and 5 pm and a healthy comforting bite. No sugar, no flour, nothing artificial really. You only have good old organic ingredients like rolled oats, coconut oil, and milk, dark chocolate, peanut butter and banana. This recipe requires no special baking skills, it’s that simple to follow.
Coconut cookies with dark chocolate are here to stay thanks to Emelie Forsberg’s book called “Finding strength, happiness and balance in your running”. Her cookie recipe has inspired me to go groceries, get creative and start baking. Thank you very much, Emelie for so much motivation for Running. Exploring. Cooking. Baking.
