This week's challenge is to beat that sweet tooth! SAY NO TO SWEETS! And of course, I do not mean unprocessed fruits but the kinds of sweets that are processed and made of nothing but sugar! Sugary cereals, cookies, ice cream, etc....

My weakness is dark chocolate and ice cream... so this week I will try to go for the entire week with no sweets! Not exactly sure how this will go but at my worst attempt, I will limit it to one a day.

    1 cup ground quick oatmeal
    1/3 cup cocoa powder for baking
    1 egg
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/2 cup coconut oil
    1 banana
    1/3 cup coconut (shredded)
    3 tbsp. chia seeds
    3 tbsp. ground flax seeds

    Optional:
    dark chocolate chips
    1/3 cup agave nectar
    chopped walnuts

    I put 1/3 cup of agave nectar because I was in the mood for a REAL cookie but they would be delicious with less or a different sugar substitute. Next time I make them I will use about half of what I used. They are sweet enough on their own.

    I baked them at 350 for maybe 18 minutes. This recipe isn't an exact science so feel free to play with it if you like. Hope you enjoy :drinker:
