I know that the words “healthy” and “cookies” don’t often end up in the same sentence but if you have the itch do see some fresh-baked cookies come out of the oven without the standard amount of guilt attached, check out this recipe for a treat that doesn’t equal a week’s worth of classes per cookie!
Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
Dry
- 3/4 c whole wheat flour (may need to adjust depending on the moisture of the batter)
- 3/4 c oats
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- optional: 1 tsp cinnamon
Moist
- 1 c smooth natural peanut butter
- 1/2 c honey (easier with liquid honey)
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- optional: 1/3-1/2 c chocolate or carob chips
Preparation:
- Combine dry ingredients
- Combine moist ingredients
- Mix dry and moist ingredients together.
- Cool in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Drop teaspoons of batter on a parchment-lined cookie sheet or baking sheet for cookies.
- Flatten with a fork if you like.
- Bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes – edges will be slightly browned – be careful not to burn as honey browns fast.
