After a wildly successful fundraising campaign ($2,500+ to the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation!) my friend Lauren packed her bags and trekked westward. The agenda for her trip? Get a taste for The Oregon Life (see photos) and to run a half marathon.
The Oregon Life:
.::The End::.
I have this thing I do. When people come to town, I bake for them. Lauren's ingredient request? Peanut butter. As you may have noticed, I'm not the biggest fan of peanut butter in my sweets (I guess you could say I'm a purist), as I've featured it on this blog...well...never.
My challenge: bake with peanut butter. Be basically healthy (13.1 is no joke). Be delicious.
This has all the intentions of a trek bar or trail mix. So by value of the transitive property, this is basically healthy. Basically. You've got your peanut butter. You've got your oats. And you've got your M&Ms. The picture of health.
The secret ingredient for outrageous monster cookies is actually an the omission of a key ingredient. Flour. That's right. Don't bother with that mess. You're lookin' at flourless cookies. And the combination of the peanut butter and butter and oats make these delightfully chewy.
