No Bake Cookies

I used to make chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies ages ago and got a craving for them last night so I made these.

*upfront notes*

These are very easy and versatile and you could use the sweetener of your choice to equal 2 cups.

The combination of sweeteners i used had no cooling effect and if you close your eyes you would swear it had oatmeal in them from the combination of nuts and seeds i used..

I am sure many variations of these would be equally as good.


3/4 cup granular erythitol
1 1/2 tsp splenda quick pack
2 TBL not/starch(for cooling effect control) (**see Billie's note)

3 TBL cocoa

1/2 cup heavy cream(or lc milk) (*see Billie's note)

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 stick butter

1 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice
1/2 cut sunflower seeds

In non stick pan combine sweetener mix then add cold milk and bring to a boil for approx. 1 min.

Remove from heat and stir in butter and peanut butter until melted.

Stir in coconut, nuts, and seeds until completely covered.

Drop tablespoons of mixture on parchment or waxed paper and refrigerate until firm.


Enjoy!

*Billie's note:
I used only 1 TBsp Not/starch (it did have a very slight cooling effect with only this amount, but it doesn't bother me.)

I used 1/8 cup cream +3/8c water

I added 1/4 cup sesame seeds

I didn't drop, I spread on wax paper on a cookie sheet. Break apart when completely cool & firm.
