Wild Maine Blueberry Simple Syrup
Overview
Here we are. The end of August. How did that happen so quickly??
I mean, I want a baked good. To be perfectly clear, I want an oatmeal cookie.
But again. How do I do this without turning the oven on?
For a while now I have been playing around with no bake cookie bites or protein bites and this is a good one. These No Bake Oatmeal Cookie Bites have that warmth from cinnamon, are full of oats, include protein from cashew butter, and are refined sugar free, if you choose to use a sugar substitute or use coconut palm sugar. Done in 5 minutes, it beats turning the oven on in that 95+ degree weather.
Makes 10-12 bites
