No-Bake Honey Peanut Butter Cookies

These simple to make no bake cookies contain the great flavor combination of peanut butter and chocolate along with a little hint of sweetness from honey. The addition of oats adds a punch of fiber and plant protein that makes them very satisfying. 

Combine the following ingredients in a bowl: 2 ½ cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup natural peanut butter, 3 tbsp honey, ½ cup dark chocolate chips (or just chop up whatever you need from a Lindt 85% cocoa bar to make 1/2 cup) . Mix thoroughly and then use a mini muffin tin as the mold to form the cookies. Or, lay parchment paper on a cookie sheet and use an ice cream scoop to lay them out. Refrigerate to set. It makes about 16 - 125 calorie cookies -- so one is perfect:) Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
