Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Heat a pot over medium heat and add 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 2 cups of coconut sugar, and 1/4 cup of cacao powder.

Stir until melted together and wait for a full boil in the middle before setting a timer for 2 minutes.

When the timer goes off, remove the pot from heat and add 1/2 cup of almond butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then stir.

Add 3 cups of oats and stir until fully coated.

Use a cookie scoop to dollop the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping them into mounds or flattening them with the back of a spoon.

Let the cookies harden for about 30 minutes at room temperature, or place them in the fridge to speed up the process.
