Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil (no substitutes, this is what gives its creamy texture and flavor)
2 cups oats (not instant)
1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup dried cranberries

Directions:

In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.
Remove from heat and add oats, chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Stir until combined and chocolate chips are melted.
Spread into a 9×13 pan. Refrigerate until hardened, about an hour.
Store in refrigerator…

Ingredients:

For Pancake Roll-ups:
1/4 cup Low fat plain greek yogurt (I used Chobani™)
1/2 scoop Plain or vanilla protein powder (my protein powder is 100 calories per 1/4 cup scoop)
1/2 tsp Baking powder
2 Egg whites
1/2 cup Oats (regular old fashioned oats, or gluten free if sensitive)
1/4 cup Strawberries, chopped (about 2 large strawberries)
1/8 cup Water
3-5 pkts Stevia (or sweetener to taste)

For Yogurt Filling:
1/2 cup Low fat Greek yogurt (I used Chobani™)1
2 tbs Low sugar strawberry jam
1-2 pkts Stevia (or sweetener to taste)

Directions:

Put all of the ingredients for the pancakes in a blender and blend until smooth!

Meanwhile, heat a nonstick griddle (or large nonstick skillet) coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon 1/2 of the batter (if making 2 large pancakes) OR 1/4 of the batter (if making 4 smaller pancakes) onto pre-heated griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Remove from griddle when both sides are cooked, and place pancakes on a serving plate.

To make the filling, simply mix Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese puree) with jam (or diced/crushed strawberries) and sweetener in a small bowl. Divide filling between pancakes, and roll pancakes up around filling. Place roll-ups on plate seam-side down so they stay rolled, or secure with a toothpick! Serve with strawberries, low sugar jam, or low sugar maple syrup if desired! Enjoy!
