Coffee and peanut butter… Two of my most favorite things EVER because they taste so damn good! Combine the two and we have a winner on our hands.

For all the coffee addicts… Here’s a dairy free, decadent dessert like latte for you to enjoy this weekend  🙂

Bonus… This is a delicious treat without overwhelming your body with all that added sugar and unwanted calories.  This is a great way to add some healthy protein and fat to your cup-of-joe.

Ingredients

1 generous tsp sugar free peanut butter (Woolies or Black Cat sugar free) / almond butter

3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. Shake the box each time before you use it. (I like the Blue Diamond brand. It froths well and is gluten, dairy, lactose, soy and MSG free)

1 cup freshly brewed coffee

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp honey (To be honest, it doesn’t even need the honey but if you like your coffee sweet then add away)

Directions:

Brew 1 cup of coffee of your choice. (I use my nespresso machine and pop a coffee pod in. Easy peasy)

While your coffee is brewing, in a blender, blend peanut butter, 1/4 cup almond milk, cinnamon and honey.

Place in a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds to warm it.

Using a milk frother froth the remaining 1/2 cup of almond milk until it becomes fluffy. (The milk should double in volume.)

Pour coffee into a cup and add warmed almond milk/peanut butter mixture.

Using a spoon, top coffee with foamed plain almond milk.

Sip and enjoy?☕?

Happy Friday!

I like to call them

To Die For Banana Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients:

2 large bananas mashed

2 cups of gluten free oats (Dischem)

If you desire you can add in some of the following:

vanilla extract

raisins

chopped nuts

cocoa nibs

coconut flakes

dark choc chips <— OMG!!! ? My favourite

(Check Woolies for dark choc chips)

Instructions

preheat your oven to 180 degrees

Place oats in blender or food processor and blend until oats become the consistency of flour (it’s okay if it’s not perfectly ground)

Combine the mashed banana with oats until smooth.

Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Drop large tablespoons of dough onto the cookie sheet and flatter a bit with a fork.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until cookies are set. This will make about 16 cookies. I like to store mine in the deep freeze.

Voila!!

Clocking in at only 50 calories per cookie, You can easily replace breakfast with a couple of these beauties. They are also great for on the go snacks. Just be mindful if you add in extras, the calories will be higher per cookie.

Do you have some cool suggestions for add ins?

Send me some photos of your creation!
