The Most Fabulous Frozen Chocolate PB Cookies on Planet Earth!Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1/4 cup light soy milk (try to use plain b/c cookies could be too sweet if you use sweetened milk)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
2 tablespoons sugar or vegan artificial sweetener equivalent
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (sweetened is OK, if unsweetened, increase the amt of sugar accordingly)
1 cup uncooked oats
2 teaspoon olive oil
Directions:Add soy milk, cocoa powder and vegan sugar (or substitute) in a small NONSTICK saucepan over low heat, and stir often until sugar dissolves and all ingredients mix nicely.
DO NOT BOIL (soymilk will curdle and that is ICKY my friends!), but make sure it gets very hot. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and stir into mix until melted.
Stir in oatmeal and oil.
Drop with a greased tablespoon into 16 balls onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper, or sprayed with nonstick spray. Freeze (covered if desired) for a minimum of 4 hours. They are better the next day after you make them.
Yes, you eat these frozen!!!!
About 70 or 80 calories per cookie and about a gram of fiber. You could play with the sweetener to desired sweetness, but I really like it this way. Enjoy!
Serves: 16 Cookies
Preparation time: Fast! No baking!
These turned out pretty well! I was surprised. Due to weather conditions, I'm stuck at a house with very little with which to work. I crushed up some O-shaped cereal instead of using oats, used applesauce instead of oil, no sweetner, and carob powder instead of cocoa. I only got around ten of them. How big are they supposed to be? I'm having trouble letting them freeze cause they're so tasty.

Also, I think I'll replace the oats with some chopped nuts for my GF friends.

Oh I'm glad you liked them! They are really tasty. Theyve saved me a bunch of times, on Weight Watchers, and now that I've gone vegan! I think you really need the oats... I never tried it with cereal! I used whole oats, and that might have made the difference. I used 16 really small balls, but I'm sure that 10 is OK, too. Maybe double the recipe so some still come out frozen, and you can still eat a few while making them
I think maybe the crushed cereal might soak up so much moisture that you don't get the full 16? Adding nuts sounds....well, WONDERFUL!

Hmm... I tried it with oats and a double batch right after I posted the comment, and still came up short. I didn't add the nuts, but I plan on it next time. Maybe I'll try some dried fruit too.

The reason might be that you REALLLLLLLLLLLY need the oil instead of applesauce. Its not like baking and being able to switch the two. Its not a lot of oil for all those servings...and your body needs a *little* fat to survive
Try it with that. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why you're comin up short!

I'm pretty sure I said I didn't have any oil at the time

I know
I was kiddin! If you try them again w/ the oil, let me know if it comes out better. I'm dying to make these right now and don't have any oats

I substituted original ingredients w/ carob and maple syrup and used only 1 tsp. oil. Very fudgey and addictive. I can easily eat the whole batch in one sitting.
