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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Step 5
Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
