Ingredients

1.5 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
0.5 cup white sugar
3.5 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
0.25 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
0.5 cup unsweetened grated coconut, or as needed

Method

Place a pan over heat and toast the oats, tossing them until they become fragrant and are lightly toasted, which will take 5 to 7 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, cayenne, softened butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract and coffee. Stir in the toasted oats until everything is fully combined.
Use a sorbet scoop to portion the mixture into balls. Coat each ball in the grated coconut and place them on a baking pan lined with parchment. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to allow them to firm up.
