I love a treat, but I l0ve a homemade treat that I know whats actually in it and was made in my own home!  I love a healthy treat thats packed with protein, and no refined sugars!

I’ve made countless recipes with PBFIT and I love it because you get the peanut butter taste without all the fat AND it has more protein per serving.  I love making treats with PBFIT.  If this isn’t a staple in your home, what are you doing with your life?

WHAT YOU NEED

-1/2 cup Peanut Butter (I like simple truth or fresh grind from smiths)

DIRECTIONS

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Place peanut butter, coconut oil and honey in a small bowl.  Melt in microwave for about 30 seconds, OR over stove top and heat up until coconut oil is melted. 
  • Mix up oats, protein powder, super seed mix, PBFit in a bowl.
  • Add peanut butter coconut oil mix to the dry mix and mix together.  It will be a little dry, but feel free to add a little water or honey to it.  The consistency of it is more flakey, but It’s meant to be pressed down into bars, so it will mold into bars once pressed down.
  • Once mixed through press the mixture onto the pan pressing firmly down to ensure that it doesn’t break apart. If you have to do 1/2 pan so it’s thicker you can do that too.  I like them about 1/2 inch thick.  
  • Then add your chocolate chips evenly all over and press them into the mixture.  I like to do this rather than adding them in, so they’re evenly placed all over.
  • Place in the freezer for an hour and leave them in there 30 minutes before eating.  Take them out let them unthaw a bit before cutting.  As you can see, they aren’t perfect little squares, it’s more like bark looking. 

TIPS: Store them in your fridge for up to 1 week.  Don’t leave them out, otherwise they will be flakey.  You can also leave them in the freezer, which I do because I like them to stay harder.  But if you like them a little more soft then leave them in the freezer.

If you like these, you will my also love the Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Balls I created with Better Body Foods and PBFit products!

Like I’ve said before, Better Body Foods is my number one go to for all things baking and cooking.  All real ingredients, nothing hidden, you know what you’re getting!  I strive to keep all the ingredients real at my house for my family.

SUPERFOOD BLOSSOM MUFFINS

Remember this Superfood Blend   from Better Body Foods that I posted last year twice?  The ingredient list is incredible and you can totally trick your kids into eating their veggies without eating their veggies, ya know?   I made SUPERFOOD BITES & SUPERFOOD BARS.

  •  LIVfit SuperfoodOrganic Superfood Blend is an all-natural vegan blend that combines antioxidants (Vitamin C and Vitamin E), fiber, probiotics and proteins for everyone.
  •  doesn’t contain sugar, artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. It a has a neutral flavor, so you can add it to anything.
  • Super boost from superfoods — LIVfit SuperfoodOrganic Superfood Blend helps build/maintain muscles, increase energy, improve cognitive function, and encourage digestive and cardiovascular health.

I’m all about ingredients these days and really checking the labels.  I don’t want any artificial dyes or colors, preservatives or nasty chemicals in my families food.   Better Body Foods I fully trust!  They have all the simple REAL ingredients, nothing added.

So I’m all about baking with this Super Food Blend and finding yummy recipes that we can eat on the go that are super healthy for us.  I made these cute SUPERFOOD BLOSSOM MUFFINS for a little spring inspo.  I honestly made them with this CLOVER MOLD, but they came out looking more like blossoms and actually a lot cuter than a clove.  I cut them down the middle and put kerrygold grass fed butter, or PBFIT or almond butter.  They’re SOOO delicious.  I have been eating them for breakfast too if I feel too lazy to make anything.  I just want something quick most of the time, so these have been so nice and there is NO guilt with them.  You’ll feel good making this choice!  Oaks and I ate a whole batch in a day which is about 10 muffins, so double up!

SUPERFOOD BLOSSOM MUFFINS

Makes 10 muffins

WHAT YOU NEED.

  • 2.5 Bananas
  • 1/4 cups almond milk (or milk of your preference)
  • 3 tbsp Better Body Foods Agave
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup organic rolled oats
  • 1/2 superfood blend
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • Clover Mold baking sheet

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375.  Blend bananas and almond milk until there are no banana chunks.
  2. Pour mixture in a large bowl , add in egg, agave, and melted butter.  Mix together until smooth. 
  3. Add in all the dry ingredients, rolled oats, superfood blend, flour and baking soda and mix until smooth.
  4. Grease your muffin cups and spoon in each cup until full. 
  5. Bake for 15 minutes.

Baking Molds are legit the best to bake with because they’re easy to clean and don’t stick to the pan.  I had to throw away most of my muffin pans because they would always stick even with me greasing them up!

This doughnut mold would be super awesome to do them with because you could trick your kids into thinking they’re doughnuts!
