Recipe: Simple Freezer Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan, Minimal Ingredients)

For those that don’t know, I’m exclusively breastfeeding my baby daughter — and I thought, for fun, I’d check out lactation cookie recipes.

To my surprise, all the lactation cookie recipes were SUPER similar to my three-ingredient freezer cookies that I’ve been eating or years.

So I stuck with what I know—except I added a few things to these freezer cookies (the chia seed, coconut, and cocoa nibs) to boost my nutrition during these breastfeeding days.

These cookies are super simple, filling, and delicious for a guilt-free dessert snack.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 1-2 very ripe bananas (depending on size)

• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter

• 1 TB agave nectar (or maple syrup/honey)

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1 tablespoon chia seed

• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut

• 2 TB cacao nibs (or chocolate chips)

• Pinch of sea salt (I also like to top with Maldon salt)

DIRECTIONS

• Smash banana into a bowl using a fork.

• Add peanut butter and stir together until smooth.

• Add agave to the banana/PB combo and stir together — these are the “wet ingredients.”.

• Add rolled oats, chia seed, and coconut, and salt until combined thoroughly.

• Mix in the cacao nibs.

• Form into little balls using an ice cream scoop or spoon, top with more cacao nibs and salt, and place in the freezer for a few hours to form into freezer cookies.

• Enjoy!
