OH NO!!!!
Get behind me Satan @DragonsHeart
I have just decided that when the jar of nutella is finished IT IS THE LAST and I'm just not going to have it in the house (the nutella jar/big spoon/janeg interface is becoming too regular)
and now you have put this on line and I have just read it
What's a girl/nutella addict to do
AND THEN
you go and add oats to it
you are a WICKED WOMAN
(and I love you )

Hi all

Not been on here for ages (I always start my posts with this!) but I saw these and had to post a recipe I tried and loved!

http://keepinghealthygettingstylish.com ... okies.html

They are basically oats, nut butter, sweet potato puree & choc chips. No added sugar! (apart from the chocolate...) and don't taste overly 'worthy'. I have actually not tried them with sweet potato, as the first time I tried them I had some canned pumpkin puree to use, and the second time I used banana as I was making them for friends and though orange cookies might be a step too far!

No idea of the calorie count, but a couple are reasonably filling so would make a healthy snack on a non-fast day (which pretty much all my days are at the moment...oops!).

The nutella ones look amazing though, I have nutella in the cupboard so may try these for an easter treat!

@janeg MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*takes a breath*HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, yes, yes, come back to the dark, chocolatey, oaty side, we really do have cookies!

@Scubachick - I can't see the recipe you posted for the cake in a mug for some reason. It's just a big blank space!

@Cblasz, I tried to be all techy and post a youtube vid. Does the link work instead?Chocolate MUG CAKE Recipe! http://youtu.be/mdkilBc_6qA

@scubachick That cake in a mug sounds really good I've got all the ingredients and on my to do list

Yes, thanks!

Ran out of choccy spread making there today. I only had half the quantity, so I added sugar free peanut butter instead. This worked out really well. Consistency was much thicker and cookies were not as sweet, but higher in protiens and lower in sugar. Kids gobbled them up again.
