Roll into bread sticks. Size and shape are up to you.
Bake 15-18 mins depending on the size of your bread stick.

I dipped by bread sticks into spaghetti sauce, but you can do whatever you want.

4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
The batter actually tastes really good. There is one thing I'd change about the recipe, but other than that the cookies are a success. If you like soft cookies these are for you. They are really peanut buttery, which is a good thing for most of us peanut butter lovers. Just be sure to have a glass of milk or water when you eat a cookie.
Here is the recipe with my alterations to the original.
Ingredients:
1 cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until combined.
- Roll with hands medium balls of dough and place on cookie sheet.
- Flatten the dough balls with a fork, making a cross pattern on the cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 15 minutes. The cookies may look and feel like they are not done, but as they cool they will change. Allow the cookies to rest on the counter for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. In my opinion the cookies taste better once completely cooled.

Quinoa Muffins
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cranberries, walnuts, flax seed, and the cooked quinoa.
In a small bowl, whisk together milk, honey, oil, egg, and vanilla.
Add milk mixture to flour mixture, and stir until combined (do not over mix).
Divide the batter into muffin cups.
Bake 20-30 minutes. I used a convection oven, and baked the muffins on 350F for 20 mins.
These muffins freeze really well.
Enjoy!
