Think of these easy no-bake cookies as a healthy makeover of one of our favorite Girl Scout Cookies--chewy caramel, dark chocolate and toasted coconut come together with fiber-boosting oats instead of sugar and flour. And the best part? They take only 15 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
½ cup unsweetened, no-salt-added almond butter
¼ cup caramel sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips, divided
6 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, divided

Directions

Stir oats, almond butter, caramel sauce, salt, 3 tablespoons chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons coconut in a medium bowl until combined.
Roll the mixture into balls, using a heaping tablespoon for each, and place on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.
Cook the remaining 3 tablespoons coconut in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until toasted and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
Place the remaining 3 tablespoons chocolate chips in a small microwaveable bowl; microwave on High for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Microwave for another 30 seconds if necessary. Spoon the melted chocolate into a small plastic bag; snip off a tiny tip of 1 corner of the bag. Drizzle the chocolate over the balls; roll in the toasted coconut. Let stand until the chocolate is set.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
