There was an article that was recently posted talking about all the new skills and hobbies that people are giving a try during our quarantine orders. Things, like learning yoga and mastering a second language, made the list. Learning a musical instrument, and expanding your online college education were also big contenders. It turns out though, the number one thing on our minds right now - is EATING. At the very top of the list was cooking and baking! With restaurants closed and take-out still feeling a little too risky, people are cracking open those pantries and combining ingredients to make something delicious of their own.
If you’re new to the baking scene, here is a simple recipe for a little feel-good treat that you can create for your family. After posting a picture of these cookies on my Facebook page - there was an outcry for the instructions to create these bite-size stress busters. Here ya go friends - have some fun with your kiddos - and enjoy!
Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter
½ cup plain instant oats
1 medium banana
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and hose down a baking sheet with some cooking spray
Step 2
Beat one egg in a bowl and add peanut butter, oats, sugar, chocolate chips, banana, and vanilla extract. Make 1-inch balls of dough and place them on that greasy baking sheet - then slightly press those balls down using a spoon.
Step 3
Toss that baking sheet into the oven for 9 to 12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly raw - don't be fooled. They're done. Let them cool down for 10 minutes before pigging out.
