No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Walnut Cookies

TGIF! This week went by like a crazy whirlwind at work. Every night I came home so exhausted, I didn’t even have energy to stand in my kitchen. This weekend we are going camping, but I haven’t even started packing yet. The weather should be beautiful, so hopefully I will come back feeling refreshed and ready for next week!

Every Sunday I like to make something yummy to get me through the work-week. This past Sunday, I made these no-bake chocolate coconut walnut cookies. They are so easy to make, no oven required! All you need is a stove-top or microwave to heat up the ingredients, stir, shape and refrigerate. They are good for a week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Even though they have a fairly high calorie count per cookie, they provide healthy antioxidants (cocoa), fiber (oats), protein (peanut butter and walnuts), and omega-3 (walnuts). I like to eat one of these when I am low on energy and need a pick-me-up. They don’t last very long though!!

By the way, my friend Louise over at Healthy Recipes Magazine is offering all My San Francisco Kitchen readers a free 3-month subscription to the magazine. Click here to get started on cooking some healthy recipes in your kitchen! Special thank you to Louise & all at Healthy Recipes Magazine.

Have a great weekend! XoXo

Type: Dessert
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 and ½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ⅓ cup and 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy!)
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
  1. Add butter, milk, honey/maple syrup and cocoa to a small sauce pan and heat on medium until butter is melted. Stir well.
  2. Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and oats. Stir well.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts and shredded coconut. If they are too dry, you can add a little more milk or peanut butter; they should be wet enough to hold together, but not too wet where they won’t hold their shape nicely.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop teaspoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheet.
  5. Flatten with the back of a spoon and shape with your hands into a cookie, with desired thickness.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator (best result is at least 2 hours, but you can eat them before!).
