I am nibbling on these tasty little treats as I write this. Nutella is one of those items I always have on hand, it is fantastic spread on toast with sliced bananas (my usual) and can satisfy your sweet tooth on a whim. My 2 year old was more than happy to help make these, they are delightful quick treats that your whole family will enjoy. If you want to make them less sweet a simple measurement swap of nutella and almond butter would do the trick.
Ingredients:
3T.butter
1/2c. sugar
1/4c. almond butter (or peanut butter)
1/4 c. milk
1t. cinnamon
1t. vanilla
1t. nutmeg
3/4c. nutella
2c. oats
In a sauce pan on medium heat combine the butter, milk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the rest of the ingredients into the sauce pan except the oats. Still until creamy. Take off the heat and mix in the oats. Using a tablespoon, dollop rounded spoonfuls onto parchment paper and allow to set and cool for 15 minutes. Enjoy with a cup of hot tea. Yum!
