Healthiest, Easiest, Yummiest No Bake Cookie

Yes, all those "ests" really do live up to this cookie.  You know those times where you are craving a cookie, but you don't want the oven, the butter, or the sugar?  Well, this recipe will do the trick.

A few of the ingredients may cause sighs of, "I don't want to aimlessly search the store for expensive specialties".  That was me at least, but these are staples I tell you and can work amazingly in a lot of recipes, so here you go.  

1- coconut oil (should be a wax like consistency) found at whole foods.

2- agave (found at Tarjay)

3- almond milk (found at tarjay) Oh the wonders of this milk.  I have pretty much replaced it for milk altogether.  It's non-dairy and works in recipes, cereal, etc.

Without further adieu, the recipe:

No bake peanut butter coconut cookies

1/2 cup agave
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/4 cup milk (almond milk works great)
1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt

In a medium sauce pan mix agave nectar and baking cocoa. Add milk and coconut oil. Stir over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, salt and oats. Drop by spoonfuls onto lined cookie sheets. Stick the pan into the refrigerator until the mounds are set, then eat away.

I love this recipe. I modified it to make it candida friendly by adding pumpkin seeds (instead of oatmeal, unsweetened shredded coconuts, and Stevia. I used a few carob chips, but they weren't needed b/c of the cocoa--unsweetened, of course. When I start eating agave or honey, again, I'm sure they'll be even better. Not a Stevia fan, but a cookie fan--for sure.
