Better No Bake Treats

[Guest guest]

I'm sure we have all had a no bake cookie.. oatmeal chocolate butter peanut

butter vanilla, etc.  this is my version... i made some tonight, thought i'd

share.  These are a little better nutritionally than the average no bake.

 

1/3 cup shortening

2 cups cane juice crystals

1/2 cup soy milk

pinch of salt

1 T agave

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup toasted coconut

2 cups oat bran

1/2 cup chopped nut and seed mixture of your choice

1 t vanilla

 

In heavy sauce pan, cook the shortening, milk, cane juice crystals (or sugar),

salt and agave on medium heat, stirring often, until it comes to a boil..  Cook

for exactly 2 minutes and 15 seconds

 

Remove from heat, quickly stir in peanut butter, cocoa, coconut, oat bran and

nuts and seeds and vanilla, the mixture will appear a little thin, that's ok.

 

Pour into parchment lined or greased pan of choice and put in fridge for at

least 30 minutes.  Cut into squares.  Eat.

 

These are more like fudge than the traditional no bake.  They come out creamy

and have a good flavor.  I left out the peanut butter tonight, and they turned

out fine.

 

Enjoy
