Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flavorings

  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully blended.
  2. Mix Until Sticky: Stir the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture becomes thick and sticky, making it easy to shape into cookies.
  3. Shape Cookies: Use your hands or a spoon to scoop out small portions of the mixture. Roll these portions into balls or flatten them into cookie shapes based on your preference.
  4. Chill: Place the shaped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up properly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy these zesty, no-bake cookies as a quick snack or a light dessert.

Notes

  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cookie, adjust the maple syrup or honey to taste.
  • Make sure to use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best citrus flavor.
  • To make smaller bite-size cookies, reduce the portion size before shaping.
