• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or one that will fit in your freezer.

• Add the oats to large mixing bowl and set aside.

• In a saucepan combine the brown sugar, coconut milk, butter and cacao powder. Bring to a simmer and whisk until the butter and sugar has melted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until mixed in.

• Pour the mixture over the oats and use a spatula to combine everything. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or so for the oats to soak up as much of the liquid as possible.

• Drop a spoonful of the cookie mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet a couple of inches apart from each other and flatten the ball with the back of the spoon. Make about 20 cookies.

• Freeze for 2 hours until set and enjoy.

• Storage: the cookies can be stored in the freezer in a lidded container or transferred to the refrigerator once set.
• Can i make these cookies without peanut butter ? You sure can, i’ve made them with almond butter and even walnut butter would be delicious.
• How can I make these cookies nut free ? Replace the nut butter with tahini and the coconut milk with oat milk and you are all set.
• Can I use coconut oil instead of butter ? Yes you may swap the butter for equal parts of coconut oil.
• If i don’t have brown sugar can I just use granulated sugar ? Yes any sugar is fine, I prefer brown for the caramel flavor but whatever you have is cool.
• No oats ? No problem! Rice Krispies, corn flakes and even crushed (vegan) graham crackers can be used instead of oats.
