These No-Bake Peanut Butter Coco Cookies come together in one bowl and contain wholesome ingredients. While they taste decadent, they are low in sugar, and have the added bonus of being gluten-free. This is a great cookie to make when the oven is full of other baked treats, like my scrumptious Almond Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies!

Notes
These should be stored in the fridge.
This nutritious fruit is delicious and full of health benefits. Unlike most fruit, coconut is high in fat, however, much of the fat is in the form of medium-chain triglycerides, which is metabolized differently than other types of fats. Your body absorbs it directly and rapidly and uses it for energy. When used in place of long-chain saturated fats (animal foods), it can help promote body fat loss.
another delicious recipe!!!
