Do you love someone who is watching his/her cholesterol? Here is a recipe that was tested and approved by our household "Cookie Monsters." These treats are heart healthy, low in fat and sugar, and taste sort of like granola bars. They are also a nice "indulgence" for someone with a restricted diet, minus the guilt. Sweet!
QT's Peanut Butter Choco-Chunk Cookies
2 egg whites
2 tsp vanilla
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (We used Smucker's with honey. Note: This contains a bit of added sugar.)
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
2, 1oz. squares unsweetened chocolate, crushed or chopped into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix banana, egg whites, vanilla, peanut butter and honey until smooth. Add oats, flour, baking soda, chocolate and mix. Spoon onto non-stick cookie sheet, flatten each a bit with a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes. Makes about 11/2 dozen large cookies. Enjoy!
