When I get hungry you know what I crave? Well, besides homemade mashed potatoes, brick oven pizzas and wings… sweets! Yep. Anything sweet. That is why the Double Stuffed OREOs don’t last in our home. Ever.
But besides my sweet tooth, I am actually trying to get better at not being so wasteful. Especially when it comes to food. So, when some ripe bananas hanging out on my kitchen counter caught my eye, I thought, “I better use them up.”
Back in April I shared my very favorite, super easy, go-to dessert / snack recipe, Protein Bites. It was a hit! By hit, I mean I had more people actually stop me or mention on social media either 1) how they could not wait to make them or 2) how they trusted me, tried the recipe and are now hooked.
I am not a baker. I wish I was.
I am pretty sure I scrambled eggs in a cake once as I added the hot butter. And, I work too fast, which means I sometimes mix up the directions. “Oh, 1 cup of flour not 2!” In my defense, the ingredient below was 2 tsp of Baking Soda. Minor mix-ups, I tell ya.
One thing I can promise is that my No Bake Cookie recipe is easy and delicious. Plus, if this hot mess of a baker can achieve cookie success, you are golden.
A few years ago, when my husband prepared for a week long hunting trip, I was in search of some recipes that would travel well for him and his group. At that time, I came across this recipe. These intrigued me because they seemed like a good alternative to store-bought granola bars. I will also admit that the ease of this recipe called my name.
Apparently, the container of Protein Bites (what I like to call them) never even made it to their hunting cabin. So, much for them replacing the granola bars! They were downed along the way. Therefore, I like to think that means they were well received!
I have made these each year for the guys trip, for various occasions and even for ” just because” moments, like tonight. Combining peanut butter, honey and chocolate is all you need to say to get my attention. Guarantee a sweet treat that takes minutes, yes, minutes to make, and why would anyone ignore such a recipe?
