Serves: 10-14
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup cashew butter, unsweetened and unsalted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • optional: 2-3 tablespoons milk of choice (if using store-bought nut milk, be sure to use unsweetened); use only if needed
  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Add the oats to a food processor and process until it resembles flour.
  2. Add the cashew butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Pulse until it forms a dough, stopping to scrape down the sides when necessary. If necessary, add milk to soften to desired texture (this will depend on how liquid-y your cashew butter is). I usually add ~2 tablespoons with my cashew butter.
  3. Transfer the dough to a bowl and fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing evenly. Using your hands or a cookie scoop (I use a medium on), form the dough into balls.
  4. Transfer to an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
To make it a little richer and even more cookie-dough like, add 2 tablespoons of softened room-temperature butter along with the cashew butter.
