Good morning. Um yeah, did Monday happen yesterday? What the heck? I was pretty much on auto pilot all day after a 5:15 am wake up call that sounded just like this “I have to go pee pee in the potty”. Ugh. That is getting pretty darn old.
So we were up bright and early and powered through our day. I made a new version of green gobblin’ muffins at 6 am with Coach’s Oats pancake mix.
I attempted to get a little work done since my early morning “office hours” are now non existent. Not the best idea as this happened outside.
Lovely.
I taught 6 classes throughout the day yesterday. Again, not the best idea to do after a race, but hey, every penny counts right now. Ha ha.
You know what was a good idea yesterday though?
This magnificent snack between my classes. Posted in it’s entirety here on Instagram (Or you can click on the picture).
Um, yes, the only thing that makes protein goo that much better is when you put it in an almost empty jar of nut butter.
In the jar- 1/2 cup pumpkin, a scoop of cookies and cream protein powder and two tablespoons PB2. OH yes, it was also topped with a bunch of Kashi Go Lean cereal, but I never took a picture of that. I was too busy shoveling it in my face.
And not to toot my own horn, but last night in my deliriously tired state I was all about good ideas over here.
I had the same dinner as I did before the race (minus the roasted beans).
Homemade cheese less veggies pizza with Trader Joe’s refrigerated wheat pizza crust and non dairy kale chips.
I ate it on the couch
while my BioFreeze and Pro Compression socks do their thing.
I also felt the need to finish that wine from the other night,
watch The Bachelor Pad from two weeks ago, take a picture of myself in my slicked hair, silly glasses and pajamas
and eat one heck of a ginormous dessert.
Talk about “layers”. Two chocolate Vitatops, some two ingredient chocolate frosting, low calorie peanut butter frosting, PB Crave, almond coconut ice cream and some coconut cookie dough crumble.
Um yeah.
So that crumble has been making it’s way on quite a few things lately. I had been wanting to try just eating the dough from my calm me down low carb cookie (which is pretty darn delicious by the way). Then I saw this post on Chocolate Covered Katie and got the idea to make my own low carb cookie dough crumble.
It’s good on low calorie ice cream, on it’s own or on top of some fudgy STUFT protein cookie dough.
Speaking of, I have a new recipe for that with my new favorite GNC egg white protein powder that is to die for.
Here’s the crumble.
Coconut Cookie Dough Crumble
2 tablespoons coconut flour (14 grams)
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
6 drops liquid vanilla stevia
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon non dairy milk of choice
Mix all ingredients together. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Recipe Notes:
You may need to adjust the amount of non dairy milk to get the crumble consistency that you want. Sometimes I want mine a bit drier and sometimes I like it more moist.
The liquid stevia is optional and I’m sure other sweeteners would work just as well. You can also experiment and add a little cinnamon or a tiny bit of vanilla or almond extract. I’ve even added a little protein powder in the crumble as well.
This is good stuff friends. Good stuff. It may not taste exactly like buttery sugar cookie dough, but it definitely does the trick and I’m now craving it on a daily basis.
Oh, I almost forgot. The winner of the pink Halo Hat thanks to random.org is
Yay Erica! Darn it, I never say you at half marathon. We should’ve met up. Email me your information and I’ll get you new pink hat to you! Woo hoo!
And here’s a little extra bonus for your day too.
My friend Paige brought something to my attention that you all need to see.
There is a definite resemblance between my ghost chilies and Kitty’s manboobs.
Sorry, not the best picture I could find of the manboobs, but pretty funny, yes? Thanks Paige for pointing that out.
Have a good one!
There is no such thing as bad kitty manboob pictures!
You are so right.
Lol… kitty manboobs?? That made my morning!! Love it! That crumble looks good!
Oh man! Your day starts bright and early like mine and leaves no time to get anything done!! Way to go teaching those classes. That cookie dough crumble looks delish – I happen to have all those ingredients and may have to give it a whirl:) have a great day!
Let me know if you try it.
I’ve been loving it lately.
ha your boys crack me up… and you are so funny the way you write bout them…love it! haha. Now onto some cooke crumble.. do you just mix all the ingredients up? or do you have to let it sit, bake, etc. whatever? I am assuming you just mix it all together. i will be trying this!
Yes, just mix it all up and chill. Forgot to write that part. Oops. I should go edit that.
I’m so into the cookie crumble! And your morning sounds like mine except we aren’t into potty training just yet. I’m sure things will really, really be early then.
Oh just you wait until the potty training begins Angela. Ha ha.
That dessert bowl is not messing around. Thank goodness I can still have coconut flour. I’ve been making savory zucchini pancakes with it. So good.
Tell me about your savory pancakes!!!! I want to try them! And yeah, thank goodness you can still have that. Um, and yes, I do not mess around with desserts. Andrew told me recently I don’t know how to have a small dessert. Ha ha.
Whisk together 3 eggs, 1 heaping Tbsp coconut flour, salt and pepper, and a little bit of garlic powder and paprika. Add 1 large zucchini, grated, with the water squeezed out through a towel. Cook in coconut oil. Amazeballs.
Um…… genius. Wouldn’t you know thought we’re freaking out of zucchini at the moment. Grr…. I’ve got to find some.
Ummmm… I totally read that a the peppers resembled Kitty’s manHOOD rather than manboobs. LOL!!!
Ha. Well um no. Those have been cut off. LOL.
Do you bake the crumble?
No. Just mix together and chill.
Yay, been wondering what to do with my coconut flour I bought to try. Love coconut oil and seem to digest it well (huge digestion issues) so this will be good to try. Not big on sweets but I do use stevia, or I could leave it out as you suggest. Thanks for the recipe to try.
Let me know what you think Debbie if you try it.
Not big on sweets? Never heard of such a thing. Just kidding. 
I did try it and it was delicious! I used banana instead of applesauce (no kids here, otherwise I’m sure I’d have some around). Also added ground flax seed because I love it and throw it in everything! Yeah, I’m a sour, not sweets girl. I crave apple cider vinegar and swear I can drink the stuff straight out of the bottle (yuck, I know). Oh, tonight in my mailbox was a purple pair of Pro Compression socks! Now I just need to get the baby blue ones (have the hot pink) and my life will be complete!
I’m jealous of your purple compression socks. Ooo.. and baby blue? Let’s get those next Debbie.
omg i’m making that cookie crumble right now!!!
Yay! Yes do!!!
Yep, just laughed out loud at the man-boobs/peppers comment. Thank you.
Anytime.
Almost empty jars of nutbutter rock!! I took advantage of one this morning, in fact! You’ve got a lot going on in that dessert of yours, but it looks SCRUMPTIOUS.
Oh man, I always have a lot going on in my desserts. It’s a bit of a problem. Aren’t almost empty jars the best????
Kitty man boobs just made my freaking day!
BAHAHAH Kitty man boobs!!! Your posts kill me & make my day! And the crumble looks yum & I’ll have to try as well as the pizza
yum that muffin looks great! and your desserts bowl always look amazing!
Kitty didn’t think that was very funny! I did, though!
Can’t wait to try that cookie crumble thingie~ thanks for sharing that recipe! Have a great week!
you have my girl CLAMORING for a “mizter bigglesworth”
are they really that care-intensive?!
Oh my- yes. Very high maintenance. Ugh. And… bad breath. Ha ha.
Greetings from Manila, Philippines! I’ve been a lurker of your website for sometime now and I want to say that I’m very impressed at how you are able to do all the things that you do in just one day. You’re doing great!
I notice that you love wine. Maybe in the future, you’ll want to run the marathon du
Medoc. It’ll be perfect for you: wine stops for hydration , vineyard running in Bordeaux. Maybe when the kids are a little older. It’ll be a good race-cation.
Okay, tell me more about that race. Sounds like just my type of race.
Each year has its own theme. This year isfamous historical figures. last year was cartoon characters, I believe. The Marathon du Medoc is called the “longest marathon in the world” because of the wine stops. Obviously, you don’t go there to set a PR but if you do win, the prize is French wine volume equivalent to your weight. All finishers (within the 6:30 cut-off) will receive a bottle of French wine among others. They serve wine, cheese, oysters, hams at hydration stops.
Home alone for dinner last night, so I roasted/baked some broccoli slaw in the oven and topped it with marinara sauce and veggie dogs. Not bad, not bad.
Oh… yeah. Not bad is right.
He he.
Saw you on Fit SUGAR this morning! Nice article and pics! Woo hoo!
He he- thanks Jamie!
Love the crumble!
OK, I sprayed a pan w/Pam and cooked the crumble. Cooked it in pieces and let it get brown. Sooooo, good. Tastes like cookie pieces! Thanks for your ideas!
Perfect Mimi. I guess it’s pretty much the same recipe as my calm me down cookie so it’s the same idea. I may have to bake my cookie crumbles tomorrow night!!! Thanks or the idea!
You know I’m making that crumble now right! I HAVE to have it! YUM!
I didn’t have coconut flour on hand so I tried whole wheat… not so good. Would the whole wheat flour change the taste that much?
Hmm…. I’m sure it changed the consistency quite a bit. The two aren’t usually interchangeable I don’t think. It’s better to go half and half. Do you have peanut flour or anything like that?
this coconut crumble was so yummy!! so so so good, the coconut flavor is so nice…I paired it with a chocolate pudding cup : ) thanks again for your recipes
Awesome! I think the cookie dough crumble will be my new favorite treat! I am going to make this ASAP!
I’m a new reader and this recipe looks awesome! I can’t wait to try it. Why the baking powder though?
Just for a little taste. You can totally do it without.
