Remember "No Bake Cookies?" I think I made them HEALTHY!

Granted - I haven't tried this - but will later this evening and if they turn out great I will come back with pics and review.
I saw some no bake cookies there in the store and wanted them SO BAD. And I have made them basically sugar free before and they were good - but I was thinking - maybe instead of the amount of cocoa I normally use - I would use chocolate protein powder!:) 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Splenda or other sugar free sweetener
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I was wondering if I couldn't use protein powder here?)
• 1/2 cup milk (I use Over the Moon, or Hi Protein Borden)
• 1/2 cup margarine (I use smart)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups quick cooking oats

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cocoa, milk and margarine. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, peanut butter and oats.
2. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow cookies to cool for at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight container.

 

Yo uwouldn't want to boil the protein powder, it'll clump up and get gooey.   Maybe add after it has cooled a bit, they say it's shouldn't be heated over 130 degrees.

Good to know! I didn't make them last night -  got lazy before hand. So I will make today!:) 

Can you get us the nutritional values? I would kill for some of these right about now!!! i would love to have a little something "sweet" that is safe to eat. 

Yum! I love no bake cookies! I wonder if I could still eat them made with splends rather than sugar.

It worked!!!!!! They are more crumbly than usual - but still soft and DELICIOUS! And made with splenda too!

Yummy I can't wait to try this receipe thanks for sharing.....did you use the protein powder? Did you let it cool a bit?
Thanks for sharing YUMMY

I'm allergic to Splenda, so I make my no-bakes with agave nectar. It makes them a little softer/stickier, but you don't have to use as much (it's super sweet). I bet you could stir in some unflavored (or chocolate) protein powder when they cooled. I believe Unjury can be heated up to 160, but I'd have to recheck my container.
