Low FODMAP Chocolate Haystack Cookies (No Bake)
These low FODMAP cookies are the perfect combination of coconut, oats, and chocolate - plus they don't require any time in the oven! Great for both expert bakers and those with less baking experience.
Servings: 15 cookies
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup lactose-free milk (or plant-based milk like almond milk)
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup oats (regular or certified gluten free) I used quick oats
- 1½ tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- To a medium pot over low heat, add butter, milk, and sugar. Stir regularly until butter has fully melted and mixture is smooth. Bring to a gentle boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring regularly so it doesn't burn.
- Add vanilla and stir to incorporate. Then add coconut, cocoa powder, and oats. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, combine all ingredients until evenly coated. The mixture should be sticky and not too dry and crumbly. Remove from heat.
- Prepare a cutting board or baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper. Using two spoons, form the cookies by picking up approximately 2 tbsp of the mixture and dropping it onto the parchment paper. Repeat this until you run out. Allow the cookies to cool so they can set - I like to put mine in the fridge to speed up this process. Serve cold - enjoy!
