A Peanut Butter Chocolate No Bake Twist!

Oh Em Gee! This was so good! I'm really excited to share with you a great little treat I had today. 

First off, fresh rolled oats are amaze-balls. My local grocery chain has this machine from The Grainery. Check out the website for all sorts of info. I'm happy I picked up this brand!

Secondly, what does that picture look like? As soon as I pulled it out of the microwave, I thought "Peanut Butter No Bake!". I was equally excited to devour this and was not disappointed. 

Peanut Butter Chocolate No Bake

1/2 C or 40gr fresh rolled oats (you can use any plains oats you prefer)

1C water

12gr PB2 with chocolate

a little no cal sweetener to taste (sugar will add more calories)

Microwave for 2 min. Make sure to use a big bowl or cup as oatmeal likes to expand. 

You can make it a little creamier with milk or any milk substitute. Try PB2 without chocolate too. 

It will be a little hot so it is more like a hot, gooey, no bake cookie.

Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

Don't judge me. I'm only human...The hardest part of dieting (or lifestyle change) is breaking my sugar addiction. I can go about 2-3 days without sugar and then I crack. It takes 2 weeks to make a habit. I'm so far from that. 

While perusing Facebook today, someone was making no bake cookies. That sounded so good. So I found a peanut butter no bake cookie recipe here. I made some modifications.

1.5 C sugar

1/4 C butter

1/2 C milk

1 C natural peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 C flax seed

3 C instant oats

I've never had a problem using instant oats. The cookies are currently in the refrigerator to speed the cooling process. I like to think of the cookies as fuel. Peanut butter and oatmeal are great for energy. I will be using my elliptical soon and running shortly after that... Aim high, I say!
