"Guys, I have a fun one for you today! You know that I like to whip up new healthy concoctions, right? So, while I was playing in my kitchen over the weekend, I created fake &amp;quot;cookie dough&amp;quot;--because I know how many cookie dough lovers we have here (admit it). My version is completely safe to eat raw, and it&amp;#x27;s wildly nutritious. Read on... Inspired by the famous breakfast cookie from Gina over at Fitnessista, I created these moist and tasty little snack balls that have the texture of cookie dough--yum! They&amp;#x27;re a good source of fiber, potassium--and folic acid and vitamin E (thanks to the wheat germ). &amp;quot;Cookie Dough&amp;quot; Balls Recipe by Sarah Jio Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (or any other nut butter--I used sunflower &amp;quot;butter,&amp;quot; since we have a nut allergy in my house) 1 banana, mashed 1/3 cup of rolled, old fashion oats (not instant oats) A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional) 2 tablespoons of wheat germ (P.S. You could add in some chocolate chips if you really wanted to--but I think there are enough flavors going on here.) Preparation: Sprinkle the wheat germ on a small plate and set aside. In a cereal bowl, mash the banana with a fork, then add in the peanut butter and oats and cinnamon, if you&amp;#x27;re using. Mix together until well blended (should be creamy and cookie-dough-esq). Pick up a spoonful and roll into a ball with your hands, then roll the ball onto the plate of wheat germ until it coats/sticks to all sides. Repeat until you&amp;#x27;ve used all your &amp;quot;batter.&amp;quot; Enjoy! More reading: *Another use for wheat germ ... on top of your cereal!
