Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats and shredded coconut to evenly distribute them.
  2. Melt Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the honey and coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to infuse the mixture with bright, refreshing flavors.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the warm liquid mixture over the dry oats and coconut, stirring well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet, pressing down slightly to flatten each cookie.
  6. Chill: Place the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
  • Make sure to use rolled oats, not instant, for better texture and structure.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor if desired.
  • If the coconut oil is solid, gently warm it to melt before mixing.
