Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pie Oats

Peanut butter and chocolate is one of my favorite combinations for breakfast…. and lunch, and maybe dinner. You can never go wrong. If I could just have one thing for the rest of my life, it would be peanut butter and chocolate everything, I would never get tired of that. Peanut butter pie is among the favorites of my pie palate (I’m a pie critic). Too bad peanut butter and chocolate pie is loaded with sugar, fat, preservatives, you name it. Not to mention extremely high in calories too. So I put my thinking cap to the test, and created a delicious version of my all-time favorite combo. No added sugar, preservatives and all natural ingredients, you may fool your taste buds into thinking that you are actually eating a sugar-filled, bad-for-you pie, but your body knows the truth, wholesome and healthy goodness.
