Healthy Nutrition-Packed Cookies.

These cookies are great for:
~your sweet tooth
~a pick-me-up snack
~a pre-workout snack
~an ingredient for a healthy shake (I threw it in my vanilla Shakeology. YUM!)

Some of the many benefits

Oats - rich in fiber and minerals

Pumpkin - beta-carotene antioxidants, potassium, vitamin A

Cacao - high in antioxidants

*Stevia is a sweetener that comes from a leaf. Stay away from artificial sweeteners! 

*Peanut butter should have only one ingredient-peanuts. (go organic!)

Recipe

Combine:

1 c oats

1/2 c pumpkin

1/8 c stevia

1 TBS nut butter (I used Adams natural PB)

1 tsp vanilla extract

cinnamon to taste. 

Spoon onto a non-stick or greased (I used coconut oil) baking sheet.
