Tomorrow begins our annual Faithful Servant retreat for the Dioceses of North Carolina! That means it's time to make some healthy snacks to bring along!
On the agenda: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites and Amazing Granola (one of the moms brought this for us last year and I just stumbled upon the recipe tonight!
Then Enjoy! My recipe got 25 - making each cookie just 44 calories! Pretty good for a sweet snack :)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
I saw this on Pinterest earlier, but was deceived by the person's comment below the picture. As I put in the ingredients she said: 3 ripe bananas, 1 1/2 cups of Oats, 3 TB of Chocolate Chips, and 2 TB of PB - it was super wet so I added 1/2 cup of white flour.
They turned out pretty delicious - try it out at home!
 |
| Mash 3 Ripe Banannas |
 |
| Add in 2 TB of PB and 1 1/2 cups of Oats |
 |
| Mix it together and add 1/2 cup of flour |
 |
| Bake at 350 for 10 minutes! |
Granola
Next Up, Granola!
You'll need:
Dry Ingredients: Oats (4 cups), Wheat Germ (1 cup), Walnuts (1 cup)
Salt (dash), Cinnamon (dash), Brown Sugar (1/4 cup) (not pictured)
Wet Ingredients: Vegetable Oil (1/3 cup), Honey (1/3 cup), Water (1/3 cup)
Mix it all together and you get this:
Which you'll spread out onto two pans like so:
And bake at 300 for a total of 40 minutes - stirring every 10 minutes.
I'm planning to add in a few white chocolate chips and some dried cranberries before bagging it up.
This should feed about 25 people - maybe 1/2 or 3/4 of a cup at a time for 132 calories per serving!
I feel like a real 'homesteader' lately - look at me making things with oats (like those muffins a few weeks ago) and wheat germ! I've even been growing my own lettuce from an old Romanie bottom.
