I have eaten plenty of no bake cookies in my life. They are super sweet & decadent. So if by chance you have never had a no bake cookie before & don’t know of their chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness then no need to fret too much because I created a yummy bowl full of oatmeal inspired by these cookies that is much more nutritious & figure flattering. This is a pretty perfect twist too because no bake cookies are oatmeal based also. This super quick & easy recipe is high protein, high fiber, moderate carbs & fat, vegetarian/vegan, & gluten free. It’s also seriously filling so it makes a really satisfying breakfast,snack, or dessert 😉
Ingredients:
*1/3 cup dry oatmeal
*1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or another milk of your choice)
*1 scoop of protein powder of your choice (I used Syntrax Nectar Double Stuffed Cookie)
*1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
*1 tablespoon unsweetened natural peanut butter
*no calorie sweetener of your choice (I used a little stevia & a little erythritol)
*couple dashes of salt
(To make gluten free use gluten free oats & a gluten free protein powder)
Cook oatmeal in milk using microwave for 1 to 1 and a half minutes. It will be a little soupy because you are using less oatmeal.
Stir in protein powder, cocoa powder, & salt (or add salt on top at the end as I prefer to do). It may not mix in very well initially but by the end it will stir in well & all come together. Taste oatmeal now and add as much sweetener as you want.
Return bowl to microwave and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Make sure you stir it every frequently. Just cook it until it is the consistency you want. I prefer a very thick and more dry oatmeal but you may want it thinner. Remove from microwave and swirl peanut butter in.
It is not the prettiest looking dish but it tastes awesome and will keep you energized for hours!
