I don't know about you but I have a HUGE sweet tooth. Growing up, I always had a cookie in each hand or my nose in the candy jar.
Unfortunately, it caused me to go through an "awkward fat stage." I don't like calling it my fat stage but hey, that's what I was. There was no escaping it.
When I got to high school, I finally decided to figure out a way to include sweets in my diet.. but in a healthy way. This is the first recipe I came up with during my transition to eating healthier and I absolutely love it. I hope you feel the same way.
No Bake Cookie Oatmeal
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (I use Bob's Red Mill GF oats)
1/3 cup Almond flour (more or less depending on how you want the texture of your oatmeal)
1 packet Stevia
1 TBSP Coco Powder (I like to use Hershey's Special Dark but any will work)
2 TBSP Natural Peanut Butter
Put oats and almond milk in microwave safe bowl and microwave for a minute and a half.
Add stevia, coco powder and peanut butter.
Mix up and enjoy! :)
**I'm not 100% positive on the Nutrition Facts but I calculated it out to be about 350-400 calories.
