Grandma’s Mountain Cookies

February 26, 2016 by Caitlin Leave a Comment

Hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday! I’m sharing a recipe that everyone wants once they try one! They are the perfect sweet treat that you won’t feel guilty about eating. I love these little no bakes, and I always double the recipe because they are gone too quick if I don’t! They  are friendly to our no refined sugar or gluten diet. The original recipe is a family recipe from my husband’s Grandma, she is diabetic so this is her alternative to all those super sugary desserts!

Recipe

  • 1/2 C. Honey
  • 1/4 C. Organic grass fed butter
  • 1/2 C. Almond milk
  • 1 1/2 C. Vegan carob chips
  • 1 C. Nut butter of your choice
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1/3 C. Sesame seeds
  • 1/2 C. Pecans
  • 1 C. Unsweetened coconut
  • 2 C. Oats

Directions

Place honey, butter, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Take off burner and add carob chips, nut butter, and vanilla. Mix well, then add sesame seeds, pecans, coconut, and oats. Use a cookie scoop to mold balls of the batter onto wax paper. Once cookies are formed put in freezer/fridge to harden. We keep ours stored in a jar in the freezer and take one out whenever we need a little pick me up!

Thanks for stopping by!
