Easiest Healthiest "Cookies"


I'm trying to cut back on the Eddys slow churn ice cream and froyo as I consume far too much of it! Its my guiltiest pleasure. While most can't resist a slice of cheesy pizza, I can't overlook a 16 handles, ever! 

I have a Chobani greek yogurt for breakfast and sometimes as an afternoon snack so it's probably wise to remove my daily dairy dessert from my diet. (Woah, my high school English teacher would be impressed by my creative use of alliteration right now!) 

So how do I curb my sweet tooth while still putting meaningful nutrients in my body (who likes eating empty calories these days anyway)? I came up with this low cal yet delicious rolled oat ball that hits the spot every time.

Ingredients: 
- mashed banana
- 1/2 rolled oats
- tsp cinnamon
- tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup 85% cocoa chips
- tbsp flax seeds
- tbsp peanut butter (optional)

Directions:
Mash banana until it becomes a paste. Add syrup and cinnamon. This will be your wet ingredients. Add the rest to the bowl, stir until evenly mixed. Place 1" balls on parchment paper and stick in the freezer to harden. Enjoy!!
