Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Flour Free Chocolate Oatmeal Peanut ButterCoconut Cookies

What a mouthful! I had a hankering for something sweet after I finished laying out today, but didn't want to wreck my day by chowing down on some cookies even though I was really REALLY craving them! I decided to come up with a clean recipe for some cookies instead!

Makes 16 small cookies
Ingredients
2/3 cup steel cut oats
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter (all natural - the only ingredients should be peanuts and salt)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
One ripe banana
Unsweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoons dark chocolate
1 tsp agave nectar

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine all ingredients in one bowl and stir or mix until it forms a nice dough
3. Roll into balls and then roll in shredded coconut
4. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes

These cookies turn out a bit more like muffins than cookies, but are incredibly moist and not too sweet! The coconut on the outside toasts up so nicely and is the best part id say! They aren't too high in calories, but still be careful how many you eat! They should be a treat not a meal :)
