Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

November 21, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Good morning,

This week I have dedicated it to being healthy!  I have been bad and I have had my share of sweets so this week, I am going to be way better. I’m off from work so I have no excuse!  Mornings are exercise, eating will be healthy and I’ll spend my time cleaning the house and catching up on some reading.  I want to have a feeling of accomplishment, not regret.  So with that I will share with you my workout from last week and my 34 calorie cookie, that I found addicting!!

First the workout

Sunday – Nothing

Monday – 20 minutes jump roping & 40 Upper Body Strength Training


Tuesday – 40 Minutes Kickboxing

Wednesday – 30 Minutes Jump Roping, 15 minutes Ab workout

Thursday – 30 Minutes Jump Roping, 10 Minutes Ab workout

Friday – 20 Minutes Jump Roping

Saturday – Nothing, I walked the city of San Francisco for 8 hours

I burned 2162 Calories, beat my goal of 1700, Yah!  But I need to work harder since sugar trumps all that!

Now for a Guilt-Free Cookie!!  I made this recipe up myself, so I call them Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

I don’t know how to describe these cookies, but chewy, kind of cakey and moist. You really taste the peanut butter and cinnamon.  I found them quite addicting!  I like a low calorie cookie because I don’t feel bad if I have more then one.

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1 cup regular oats

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup peanut butter

1 tsp pure vanilla

2 Egg Whites

1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce

1 tsp cinnamon

2 Tbsp. mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl, cream together peanut butter, and brown sugar.

Add the egg whites, applesauce and vanilla. Beat together until smooth and creamy.  Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and beat together until incorporated.

Stir in oats and fold in chocolate chips.

Place about 1 Tbsp. of cookie batter onto cookie sheet, place in oven for 10 – 12 minutes, until bottom is lightly brown.

Makes 32 cookies

Calories per cookie:  34.6,  Fat:  1.4, Sodium:  23,   Potassium:  9,  Carbs:  5.4,  Fiber:  .6,  Sugar:  2.9,  Protein: 1.2

I like that I used Peanut Butter instead of Butter.  Everything is pretty healthy in this cookie!  I’d say omit the chips, but don’t, it adds the sweetness that is needed.  If you try them, you must let me know what you think.
I wonder what other kind of healthy snack I could come up this week?  I’m thinking of some kind of banana muffin!   I am going to be doing a lot of experimenting this week.  Do you have a healthy snack or cookie recipe thats your go to, make you feel good snack?
Have a great healthy week! Be prepared for only healthy recipes this week!!!!  At least thats my goal at the moment!  he he

    Totally agreed! I had some sweet tooth disasters last week and my pants are bit tighter because of it. I already know Thanksgiving will be a little indulgent, so the rest of the week has to be the picture of healthy perfection! We can do it!

    Love the sound of these cookies!

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

I just love this time of year! The weather has bee I just love this time of year! The weather has been just beautiful outside. I have spent so much time working in the yard and just enjoying the sun and warm weather. I am a total summer person.

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree. 
🍒
What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🌷
Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
