  2. Pour this mixture into a medium pot on medium heat, and stir until well combined.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the oats, coconut flakes, cocoa powder and flaxseed.
  4. Take the pot off of the stove and add the dry ingredients and the vanilla. Stir until combined.

Feel free to make substitutions to suit your tastes/what you have on hand. It would be hard to screw these up!

    I love how simple these are to make but still look delicious. I would probably try it out with almond butter.
