Graham Cracker Nut Butter Cookies
I have a little bone to pick.
Remember that post I wrote about running with a jogging stroller?
Well… I wanted to go over some rules on what to do when you come across a person with a stroller (jogger or regular)
Here are the rules:
- If you’re mowing the grass and see someone running or walking with a baby or child in a stroller, politely stop the lawn mower and wait for them to pass.
- The same goes if you’re edging, using your leaf blower, or any activity that would cause blades of grass to fly in the face of a baby. Please turn it off and wait for them to pass.
- If you’re driving a car and see someone running or walking with a baby or child in a stroller, if they’re close… wait for them to cross. Do not try to play speed racer and cut off a woman and her baby. That’s not cool.
- If you’re walking on the sidewalk either by yourself or accompanied, and you see someone with a stroller coming your way… please make room on the sidewalk for them. Don’t be rude and force them to go on the street.
- If you see a woman with a baby and stroller struggling to open a door, help her… don’t ignore her and just let the door slam into her and the stroller that contains a baby. Again… not cool.
Those are all the rules I can think of right now… if I come up with more, I’ll be sure to let you know 😉
A couple months back I made these Vegan Nut Butter Cookies.
They were delicious.
Since I have a plethora of graham crackers in my kitchen (don’t know why), I decided to crumble them up and add them in.
I also added some dates… cause why not.
I love the way these turned out. They’re obviously not vegan cause of the graham crackers… but that OK with me 🙂
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oats
- 2/3 cup peanut butter
- a little over 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup crumbled graham crackers (I left some bigger pieces in)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Combine all ingredients and use a melon ball scooper or a teaspoon and drop dough onto cookie sheet.
Bake for 11 minutes.
Enjoy!
Have a fantastic weekend 🙂 🙂 🙂
Are graham crackers not vegan? Shows how much I know!
Which would be nothing.
My graham crackers are made my Keebler. I don’t think anything they make is vegan 😉
You know, people are just plain rude these days. And I know I sound like an 80-year-old, but it’s true.
This may be rude, but it takes me about 10 minutes, countless pulls at the cord, and a lot of sweating for me to actually get my lawnmower started. When it’s on, there’s no chance I’m turning it off until I’m done mowing the lawn.
Fair enough… I know how hard it can be to get the lawn mower started 🙂
I think a good compromise would be to at least move the lawn mower away from the stroller 🙂
These sound good too. I was going to bake last night.. and as I turned the oven on to prehead we lost power.. Great!
I totally agree with the rules- especially the lawnmower/leaf blower one!
omggg you keep crankin out one delicious recipe after another!
Hmmm, I think these might be a good cookie to make with the kids at camp, pretty easy, right? And kid-friendly?
Great rule-I follow them all! 🙂
Mmmmm these look GOOD!
glad to see you are back in action! i can’t believe someone hacked into your blog! i have been missing your yummy dishes :).
People without kids just don’t get it. I don’t think they mean to be inconsiderate but for some reason they just don’t get it!! I remember struggling with a stroller trying to open doors while people just looked on. Ridiculous.
Great rules Estela!
mmmmmmmmmmmm yummy 🙂 i’m really needing something sweet and delicious right now!
Ha- I can relate to the stroller rules so well.
Have a super weekend Estela!
Although I do not have a baby, I do try and follow those stroller rules hahaha:)
The cookies look great!
you give very interesting points, Estela! I never even really thought about the “ethics” of being polite to runners with strollers. Thanks for the tips!
Ok the cookies look awesome AND the raw girl I am, I wouldn’t even bake them…gosh they look soooo good! I may have to try those w/ GF grahams.
The stroller stuff. OMG GIRL totallly agreeeeeee!!!!!! People are so rude and not only obliviously rude, but i swear they do it on purpose. I have posted recently about the rudening of society after nearly getting mowed down in an intersection in a crosswalk w/ my jogging stroller.
thx for what you said about my pics…muah!
xo
just stumbled upon your blog and I love it! these cookies look great, I can’t wait to try the vegan version also – thanks for the awesome recipe and I’ll be checking back soon (:
I like your rules for running/walking with the stroller. I always hold the door if I see a mom/dad with a stroller..I know one day I’ll be in their situation begging for some help! haha These cookies look so good, I love the idea of putting graham crackers in them.
The cookies look delicious! Love the flavor combination!!! As for rude people…UGH, we dealt with that yesterday at the park. I think either people are getting stupider or they are just more self centered! My son was doing a sidewalk chalk competition (along with others) and people would walk right on what he was working on. Really, with all the other space, that is where you choose to walk? I still have hopes that there is a little bit of good out there. It gives me hope when I read you feel the same way!
As if I wasn’t obsessed enough with the original vegan cookies!!
I love your stroller rules – too cute 🙂 You’re such a good mommy!!
The nut butter cookies look soo yummy! I love your baked goods recipes. 🙂
