Chocolate Plus, the not-so-guilty cookie

NEED Chocolate?  Me too!

I often feel the need for a chocolate treat and tend to resort to this quick and versatile recipe. I got the original version from “Lean eating recipes that taste GOOD” and jammed it full of treats. Here’s the latest:

• 2 cups oats
• Generous sprinkles of cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 heaping tablespoons cocoa
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut

Mix all dry ingredients together and push to the side of the bowl. In the other:

• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (or 3 packets of stevia)
• 2 table spoons of natural peanut butter
• Vanilla (generous)

Mix the wet together (to break yolks), then combine all together

Add LOTS of dark chocolate chips & chopped pecans. Drop onto non-stick cookie sheet and bake 9-10 mins – Eat em up =)
