Since I'm really the only one doing GAPS at my house when I make sweet treats I need to make as small an amount as possible. For I have learned if it's there, Starlene will eat it until it's gone. So today, when I saw this recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies at Health, Home Happiness I knew I had better not even consider making two dozen of these babies.
First I quartered the recipe, and then I halved that so that I would end up with three little cookies. I even did a calorie count and found that each one was just under 100 calories. Not too bad. Even though I'm not counting calories… sometimes I just like to know I'm not eating 1000 calories worth of dessert, ya know?
My recipe is slightly different than Cara's, the ingredients are the same for the most part (I omitted the egg and used raw cacao powder) but my measurements are a bit different (I used about three times as much coconut flour [affiliate link] and twice as much cocoa).
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter [affiliate link]
- 1-1/2 teaspoons coconut oil [affiliate link]
- 2-3/4 teaspoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon honey [affiliate link]
- 2 teaspoons raw cacao powder (you can also use unsweetened cocoa powder [affiliate link])
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Do not overcook.
The cookies will be fudge-like.
Makes three small cookies, just enough to make one person happy.
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
- 1-1/2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 2-3/4 teaspoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons raw cacao powder (you can also use unsweetened cocoa powder)
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
- Do not overcook.
