PB Raspberry Cake Squares
Serves: 6
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great holiday week! Hopefully you were able to enjoy some time with family and friends! The boyfriend and I definitely enjoyed some time with my grandmother, relaxing, eating some great fresh fish and indulging in a bit of ice cream!
So, I have a confession to make….this past week was the first time that I have been away on vacation since I started this blog. Although I had set up posts for most days of the week, I still felt as if I was neglecting all of you! I had emails and comments that I didn’t get to respond to until I got back yesterday. The first day or so it was weighing on my mind that I hadn’t been dedicating my full attention. At the same time I also knew that my vacation with my boyfriend and grandmother was the most important thing. (Not that you all aren’t important!) Sometimes you have to sit back and really assess what’s most important in the moment. This week definitely taught me a good lesson in realizing what’s most important in life. There will only be so many more times that I will be able to spend time with my grandmother, so that took precedence over all else! I hope you all don’t feel neglected! I am so extremely happy to be back, writing, baking and interacting with everyone! So let’s get started with a delicious recipe!

Directions
Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray your baking pan with non stick spray. In a bowl combine your dry ingredients; oats, peanut flour, whey protein, baking powder and stevia. Whisk well. In a second bowl combine your egg whites, cottage cheese and vanilla extract. Mix well. Add your raspberries into your wet ingredients and mash raspberries. Mix your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients. Pour your batter into your pan. Bake for 35-38 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.
Serve this up with a dollop of greek yogurt or coconut cream and some additional raspberries, for garnish!
These little cake squares are moist and packed with a peanut butter and raspberry ‘jelly’ flavor! Feel free to use strawberries, blueberries or any time of fruit in place of the raspberries! Whatever flavor you enjoy on your pb&j sandwich would work well in this recipe!
