Calories: 152kcal
Equipment
- 24-cup mini muffin tin OR 12-cup regular muffin tin
- tablespoon cookie scoop OR ice cream scoop for regular size tin
Ingredients
Base:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond butter*
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or whole wheat or regular flour)
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Topping:
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate, any kind)
- 1/4 cup almond butter*
Instructions
- Lightly grease 24 mini muffin cups or a 12 cup regular muffin tin.
- Mix all of the base ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer or with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Use a tablespoon cookie scoop (easiest) or tablespoon to add equal amounts of dough to the prepared cups. Use wet fingers (to prevent sticking) and press the dough firmly into each tin. (Use an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup for a regular sized tin.)**
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make topping by adding the chocolate chips and almond butter to a glass bowl and melting in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat if needed until the topping is smooth (or melt slowly in a pan over low heat).
- Remove tin from freezer and use a spatula to evenly spread the chocolate mixture over the base.
- Freeze again for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Store in refrigerator.
Notes
*Or any nut or seed butter of your choice.
**Depending on the size of your mini muffin cups, you may have some dough left over. Just roll it into balls and freeze, then coat in the topping or drizzle it on the balls.
Storage: These no bake cookies will need to be stored in the refrigerator as they become pretty soft at room temperature. They will keep up to a week in the fridge.
For longer storage you can freeze them in an airtight container for 3-4 months.
