Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!

 I came up with this recipe after looking through my cabinets and finding nothing to satisfy my sweet tooth one weekend. I have cravings ALL the time and they tend to come out more often on the weekends. So I have been really working on satisfying myself with little treats here and there throughout the week so I do not crash and burn on the weekend. It is all about finding a balance in your diet. Crushing a whole box of girl scout cookies at once can be harmful, but enjoying 3 or 4 here and there won't have a huge impact on your diet.

We are surrounded by delicious desserts everywhere we go. Depriving yourself of indulgences is completely absurd no matter how strong your will-power is! What most people miss to realize is the healthy alternative to making these scrumptious desserts!

So here is a great recipe you can try out with just a few ingredients and feel good about indulging in! Although this recipe does not fall into my "healthy" category it is a TREAT! Enjoy the sweet moments!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup of butter (I used a butter made of olive oil which has a lighter taste and is a ton better for your health)

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of Turbinado

1-1/2 cup (s) of Almond Milk

1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour

1 tbsp Cinnamon

1/2 cup Old Fashion Oats

1/4-1/2 cup Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips

In a medium bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar and turbinado until creamy.

Then, add in Almond milk, whole wheat flour and cinnamon. Mix until smooth but do not over mix!

Then fold in the oats and peanut butter chocolate chips!

Pour evenly into a muffin pan. I greased mine lightly so I didn't have to use the cupcake wrappers. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. I like mine a little bit crispy! And since these were cookies in a cupcake dish they might need a little longer to bake!

I must say I ate about 3 of these and was extremely full and my sweet tooth was totally satisfied! I love adding oats to any cookie recipe because it adds fiber and bulk! Enjoy these crispy, creamy cookie cupcakes!!!
