Who doesn't like no-bake cookies, right?! The melty, gooey, sugary goodness... but many of us are not so excited about all the carbs and sugars they bring to the table. Sound like you? You're in for a treat! These no bakes are slightly re-done - getting rid of most of the carbs and virtually all of the sugars! These no-bakes are a bit more gooey and rich because we've replaced the traditional milk with heavy cream, and the xylitol tends to be a bit sweeter than sugar. Other than that, you'll never know the difference, and the coconut adds a wonderful variation. Just try not to eat the whole batch at once!
What You'll Need:
1 stick butter
1 and 1/3 cups xylitol
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (don't use reduced fat - it has more sugar)
4 tbsp. cocoa powder
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup whole-grain oats
1 and 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
Now, to make it:
- Combine butter, xylitol, whipping cream, and cocoa powder in a saucepan and heat to a rolling boil.
- Remove from heat, and stir in remaining ingredients.
- Refrigerate mixture for approximately 20 minutes or until a bit more firm.
- Scoop into balls onto wax paper, and refrigerate until set and ready to serve. That's it!
Enjoy with less guilt!
