Gluten Free Fudge No-Bake Cookies
Ok🤤I am not going to take credit for this one because my friend had made these BUT I just had to share this recipe ... These fudgy no-bake cookies taste like literal candy bars and will be a staple recipe of mine for sure. Not only are they delicious but they are loaded with healthy fats, natural ingredients, and make my body feel loved and warm. The perfect little treat!
INGREDIENTS
• 1/2 cup honey*
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup coconut oil*
• 1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sunflower seeds*
• 1 and 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (I used dry roasted + salted)
DIRECTIONS
1. Line a large cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, cocoa powder, and coconut oil. Stir until all is melted. The mixture will be very thick. Allow to boil for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and salt until completely smooth.
3. Add the sunflower seeds and peanuts, mixing well to make sure all is coated with the chocolate/peanut butter mixture. Using a spoon, drop mixture into small piles on prepared baking sheet. I measured roughly 1.5 Tablespoons of “dough” each, to make 15 cookies. Make them as big or small as you wish.
4. Transfer cookies to the refrigerator and allow to set, about 1 hour. Serve cookies immediately to avoid the chocolate from melting. Store cookies in the refrigerator (covered) for up to 7 days.
