Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add maple syrup, almond milk, coconut oil, and cocoa powder to a medium saucepan over medium heat while stirring frequently. Bring to a low boil. Once bubbling, let it boil for 1 minute. Then remove from heat.
Add shredded coconut, oats, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt to the pot and stir to combine thoroughly. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Drop a heaping tablespoon of cookie batter onto the baking sheet and continue until all batter is used up. Sprinkle crushed peanuts or shredded coconut on top (optional).
Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to cool and harden. You can put them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Enjoy! Try not to eat them all in one sitting. 🙂
Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer to make them last longer.
