Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 75 grams Brown sugar substitute (or coconut sugar)
- 100 grams Oat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Mini dark chocolate chips (or stevia-sweetened chocolate chips)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar substitute. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as this can result in drier cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthy, low-calorie peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
