No Bake Oatmeal Chia Cookies

‘Tis the season for cookie exchanges and crazy busy schedules.

We are having our clinic Christmas Party and Cookie Exchange today and I made Chocolate dipped Pretzels (my FAVORITE holiday treat) and these no bakes, which may be my new favorite.

These little gems come together really quickly and, if you have little ones, are kid-friendly in preparation. I can always remember helping my mom bake around the holidays and they are some of my fondest memories with her.

If you’re on the 21 Day Fix, these are loosely based off a recipe that Autumn includes in her book.

Rather than milk chocolate, these no bakes are made with Cocoa Powder (a superfood!) and dark chocolate (another superfood!) powder. Natural peanut butter and sunbutter add the perfect bit of salty flavor and the coconut oil and flakes finish it off with a divine sweetness. The oatmeal and chia seeds are full of fiber to keep you full after enjoying one or two.
