Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate or any chocolate of choice, like dark or semisweet
  • 6 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • big pinch of salt
  • 2 Tablespoons dark chocolate to drizzle on top
  • extra toasted coconut and flaky salt to top

Instructions
 

  • 1. Toast coconut in a pan over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until starting to turn golden brown.
  • 2. While coconut is toasting, put chocolate, maple syrup, peanut butter, and coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until chocolate is melted. Alternately, this can be done over low heat on the stove.
  • 3. Add all remaining ingredients to the melted chocolate mixture, including toasted coconut, and stir well to combine.
  • 4. Scoop cookies onto a parchment-lined pan, flatten gently with your fingers, and transfer to the fridge to chill. At this point the cookies are done, but you can continue on to step 5 for an even more decadent cookie.
  • 5. Melt remaining 2 T chocolate in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, and drizzle over cookies. Top with extra toasted coconut and a sprinkle of salt, if using. Store cookies in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Cookies are great either at room temperature or cold straight from the fridge.
