Choco-Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Treats

I have been craving chocolate! ...and sweets! ... and chocolate! Not a good sitation to be in when you are not supposed to have them. After worrying these cravings might mean I have become part of the 2012 baby boom that is going on... I decided to suffice my cravings with a sweet HEALTHY and low-cal treat. Brainstorming session occured - and these DELICISIOUS treats/cookies were born! YUM!

At less than 50 calories a POP, and FULL of nutrition, don't feel bad... enjoy!


Choco-Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Treats

1 very ripe banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 block/cube dark chocolate (I used 85% Godiva)
3 tablespoons non-fat greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (any milk will do)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup oats
(recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc depending on how many bananas you have ;) )

Pre-heat oven to 350.
In a bowl, microwave dark chocolate piece for 20 seconds. Stir in peanut butter, yogurt, almond milk and vanilla. Mash banana directly in to mixture. Add the oats and stir. Here you can add nuts or chocolate chunks, if you would like. Let the batter sit for 20 minutes. Heat in oven for 12 minutes. Take out, let cool and throw in fridge or freezer for a cool HEATHLY savory treat!
