Healthy Recipes: 4 Ingredient Raw Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter and chocolate...need I say more?  This is a great snack, dessert, recovery food, what have you!  



This is probably one of the simplest, most addictive cookie recipe (especially for pb fans!).  The ingredients are easy to find, all natural, and wholesome.  All you need is a food processor, the ingredients, and that's it(:

The ingredients are...
  • 1/4 cup of oat flour (you can make your own by putting rolled oats into a food processor or buy it at most grocery stores)
    • or 1/3 cup of rolled oats (this is an estimate)
  • 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1/4 cup of your pb of choice (I used a toffee protein flavor)
Take all of the ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and put them in the processor.  Blend until smooth.  Then, scoop out the mixture into a bowl, and add the chips.  Roll the cookies into balls, and enjoy!  Each cookie was about a tablespoon big.  This would be a great healthy snack for kids (they would love to help you roll cookies into balls, too), bring to the office Christmas party, or just have around the house. My roommates and friends gave me the stamp of approval, too! 

 For these amounts, it yielded about 7 cookies at about 100 calories, 5 grams of protein,  10 grams of carbs, and 4 grams of sugar.  Not bad for a dessert, if you ask me!
