If you hang out in the blog world you've by now heard of Pinterest...maybe even already spent too much time on Pinterest! If you're like me you pin lots of things to "do later". Well - there's not time like the present to do things! So I'll be taking things from a pin to a check mark off the to do list.
I'll be trying to post something bi-weekly that I've found and done on Pinterest. Some (maybe most?) will be food, but some will be DIY, crafts and things we'll use at The P.
So for my first submission I tried making a cookie that some called a healthy no-bake. Well, if you know me you know that a no-bake cookie is one of my favorite cookies - so I had to try it!
Original post is here: http://gimmesomeoven.com/no-bake-energy-bites/ so give her some love.
Here are my ingredients (minus a bag of in-flight peanuts I found in the cabinet after I snapped this photo)
1 cup Quick Oats
1 tsp Vanilla (yes, I know it's imitation...I think I lost the real stuff in the house move)
1/3 cup Honey
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Flax
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter
Mix it all together in a bowl (get creative and add other stuff too: dried fruit, nuts, coconut). Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
These were yummy! I had some issues with them staying together so I'll add more honey next time. Since I rarely have milk in my house (a main ingredient to no bakes) I'll make these again. Since I don't need many sweets...I won't be making them often ;-)
