Ok confession time . . . I have a problem . . .

actually make that 2 problems . . .

I am stuck hard and fast in the middle of a double addiction.

Addiction 1 – Peanut butter.

Can not get enough → case → and → point

Addiction number 2 – I can’t stop devouring making no bake treats, I mean clearly . . . check out exhibit → A, → B, → C and → D

HELP/Join ME?!

The more I make the more I eat and the more I eat the more I want.

They are just so unbelievably quick and easy to make but so, so delicious!

Today’s fix . . . are you ready for it . . . Healthy No-Bake Double Chocolate Peanut butter Cookie Dough Bites

I mean come on you had to see this come coming.

And because they are totally healthy its totally acceptable that I am currently on batch number  . . . well whose counting.

Low GI and packed with fibre thanks to the rolled oats not to mention a good hit of protein from the raw cashews and peanut butter then theres the rich in antioxidant goodness from the dark chocolate  cocoa oh and the dark chocolate chips . . . thats a double whammy right there. Winning!

Seriously intensely delicious bites of fudgey, peanut buttery, chocolatey goodness.

These babies have become a regular component of my pre-workout power up and have on more than one occasion saved me (and my loved ones) from unleashing the dreaded hungry/cranky 330itis version formerly known as me.

A handful of ingredients, ready in minutes totally life saving . . . dooooooooo it!

Healthy No-Bake Double Chocolate Peanut butter Cookie Dough Bites
Makes approx 20 intensely chocolatey, totally healthy bites of deliciousness


Ingredients –

1 cup raw cashews

1/2 cup rolled oats (I used regular rolled oats not quick/instant)

1 Tablespoon of cocoa powder (I use Hershey’s Special dark)

1 Tablespoon maple syrup (the real stuff please)

1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons of your fave peanut butter (PB2* works too)

A pinch of salt flakes

2 Tablespoons of dark chocolate chips

Method –

1 – Place cashews and oats in your blender or food processor and pulse until they are a fine(ish) powder.

2 – Add maple syrup, vanilla, cocoa powder and salt flakes and pulse until combined. Mixture will come together into a sticky looking kind of “dough”

* Note – if your mixture is dry try adding a splash of water 1 teaspoon at a time (or a little extra maple syrup and/or peanut butter) until it comes together.

3 – Add Peanut butter and pulse again to combine.

4 – Add chocolate chips and either pulse again until just combined or simply stir through by hand.

5 – Using roughly a tablespoon of batter at a time, roll into bite size balls and transfer directly into your mouth an air tight container and store in the fridge. FYI – these delicious little morsels can also be kept in the freezer.

Enjoy xoxo
