Ingredients

1¾ cup sugar
½ cup milk
½ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup dark cocoa powder
½ cup crunchy peanut butter
2½ cups uncooked quick oats
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 Snickers bars, chopped into small bite-sized pieces

Instructions

Place oats and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt sugar, milk, butter, and dark cocoa powder, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and let mixture boil for 1½ minutes (start timing when the rolling boiling starts).
Remove from heat and transfer to the oats bowl. Add vanilla and mix well. Add the Snickers last and stir until mixed in. If the mixture needs a little more to hold together, add about ¼ cup more oats.
Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and shape with a round cookie cutter or the back of the spoon.

Blender waffles, high protein pancakes and orange buttermilk coconut syrup

High Protein Pancakes (gluten free)

2 c cottage cheese
6 eggs
4 T agave or honey
2 t vanilla
2 t baking powder
½ t salt
1 c uncooked rolled oats (quick or old fashioned are fine)
½ c uncooked quinoa
1 drop Wild Orange essential oil (only use if desired)

Put all ingredients in a high powered blender. Blend on high for about a minute. Make silver dollar size pancakes on a griddle at 325 degrees.

Blender waffle (gluten free)
3 c buttermilk
3 c uncooked grains (combination of oats, quinoa, brown rice, millet, amaranth, etc)
4 eggs
4 t vanilla
4 T agave or honey
4 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
4 T melted coconut oil
1 ½ t salt
1 drop Cinnamon essential oil (only use if desired, you can also just use 1t of cinnamon)
Put all in a high powered blender. Blend and use in waffle maker as directed. When mine is a little too thin I like to add some peanut butter powder.

Orange Buttermilk Coconut Syrup

1 14 oz can coconut milk
1 c sugar
1/2 c buttermilk
1/2 c butter

Put these 4 ingredients in a medium to large saucepan (you want extra space for the mixture to have room to boil as it boils high). Bring to a boil. Then turn down and boil at a medium boil for 5 minutes. It will bubble up so stay next to it and stir it when needed. After 5 minutes take off the heat and add:

1 t baking soda
1 t vanilla

Have your wisk ready because when you add those 2 things the mixture will boil like crazy. Wisk fast until you're left with a creamy thick mixture. Then add 1 drop of orange essential oil and serve.
