So how was everyone’s Christmas? Are we all as stuffed as I am?
As I am recovering from my food comas for the past few days, I still manage to be extremely hungry at all times of the day. Maybe it’s because of all the leftovers, just begging me to eat them. But as they say, tis the season to be merry. And if merry = eating all the time, then I’m rocking being merry.
This Christmas I tried, I really tried to resist the sweets. Chocolate? Just say no! Sour keys? Hmm..does that count as a sweet if it has the word sour in it? Maybe I’ll take a couple. But the cookies everywhere, how can you resist??
Even now, after all the festivities are over, I’m still eyeing those cookies. Just had one for breakfast. What’s wrong with me?
Okay, so in my efforts to wean myself from cookies, I’m making a healthy (er) cookie. You know, a detox cookie after all the butter and sugar goodness I’ve been ingesting.
So as a way of getting a little healthier while satisfying that lingering cookie craving, make yourself some of these. You won’t regret it.
Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups cooked chickpeas
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 Tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
- Place the chickpeas, vanilla, peanut butter, honey and baking powder in a food processor, and process until smooth and combined.
- With wet hands, form the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. They will still be soft.
- Store in an airtight container.
I'm always looking for healthy alternatives, so I will definitely try this one. Plus, I love both chickpeas and chocolate. 🙂
Merry can mean just about anything. I support your definition!
Love this healthy alternative! It looks SO tasty, but not too guilt-inducing. =)
It's so strange to be recovering from a food coma, but also still super hungry, right? That's been happening to me the last few days too! haha.
I`m still recovering as well! I was basically eating 24/7. Haha! These sound so tempting. Who can resist the peanut butter and chocolate combo?
Definitely on my to make list! They look so inviting!
These are perfect for New Years…a healthy cookie. I love that.
Detox cookie! I love it. Such a great concept!
I didn't know that healthy and chocolate chips and peanut butter all went together in the same sentence. Good one, Cathleen!
I'm always down with healthy cookies!
Loved that you used chickpeas instead of flour. What a great idea!
Looks very yummy!
This looks so gooey and delicious! I'm supposed to be craving vegetables right now, right? But I want one of these but since they're healthy, it's perfect! Happy New Year!
Interesting! I will definitely be trying these! Thanks for sharing at the Blog Strut! Can't wait to see what you bring next week!
