Baby choco-banana no bake cookies

I have been doing a lot of experimenting with baby (aka sugar free) cookies and muffins. This is an easy no bake cookie that has done well in the taste tests. Store these in the fridge and use them as a nicely balanced snack. They contain protein, grains and fruit and even have some omega 3 fats from the hemp seeds. They are also very quick and easy to make which is a bonus too. These are vegan and can be gluten free.

1/4 cup  Peanut Butter (look for no added sugar or salt)
2 Tbsp   Coconut oil
1/2 cup. Quick oats*
1/4 cup  Hemp seeds
1/4 cup. Cocoa powder (or you can use carob powder)
1/2.        Banana, mashed
1 Tbsp.  Almond milk (unsweetened)

1. Heat the peanut butter and coconut oil together on the stove over low-medium heat.
2. Take the pot off the heat and mix in the other ingredients- quick oats, hemp seeds, cocoa or carob powder, mashed banana and almond milk.
3. Shape into cookies and place in the fridge to set. Transfer to a storage container once set.

*Gluten Free if necessary
