Peanut (Flour) Cookies!

by 13 Comments

Ever since I discovered Peanut Flour (I got mine at TJ’s) I’ve been looking for more ways to use it. This stuff is amazing! The calories are like regular flour but it packs in an amazing 16g of protein, oh and it’s gulten free! So it’s great for people that need to avoid that 🙂 I saw some delicious-looking PB Oats on Chelsey’s blog, but I didn’t have any oats, so I started hunting for a PB Flour Recipe. I was in the mood to bake, so I was looking for cookie options. I came across this awesome recipe from Itzy’s Kitchen. I only made half a batch, because I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, so here’s how it went:

Peanut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 1/2 cup peanut flour
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup earth balance (or butter)
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water (or 1 egg, but I wanted to keep it vegan)
  • 1/2 tsp  vanilla
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used vegan dark chocolate chips)

Heat oven to 375. Combine the first 4 ingredients in one bowl and set aside. Mix up the next 5 ingredients until throughohly mixed. (I didn’t melt my earth balance, so I had to stir for awhile.) Then slowly add in those dry ingredients. Finish by stiring in the chocolate chips. This makes about 1 dozen cookies. Spoon them on to your cookie sheet and bake until golden brown. (Probably ~10 minutes) Let cool… That’s the hardest part.

They turned out pretty well!

 

Thank you all for visiting Alexa’s blog! If you didn’t get a chance to check it out yet, please do, and leave her a comment! This girl is on a fitness mission!!!

Speaking of fitness, I just got a Netflix subscription and I’m excited to try some new workout videos. Sunday afternoon, I did the 10 minute solutions target toning, and I definitely had some sore buns the next day. Do you guys have any workout DVD recommendations? As the weather gets colder, I will probably try to do some more “living room workouts”…

Happy Tuesday!

  9. Hey girl! Congrats on your 5K, you’re amazing! And I wanted to let you know that kale atop pizza isn’t like spinach, it doesn’t wilt but it gets super crunchy like kale chips. It’s delicious, just make sure to put them on last if you want a crunch, otherwise it will just cook down like any other leaf (mainly: spinach) but it’s delicious that way as well. Oh & you asked a bit ago if the sandwich bread atop romaine in my tupperware got soggy, and it didn’t! The leaves were dry and I just plopped the bread right on top, left it in the fridge overnight + during some of the following day and it was perfectly fine once I took it out 🙂

    and shoot, now i want PB cookies. I loved those as a kid, they’re so insanely delicious!

    • Thank you SO much for the response! I’m definitely going to have to try topping my pizza with Kale (I love Kale chips!!!) And I’m all about minimizing Tupperware containers, so I’ll have to remember that trick! (One time I put bread in a container with chips, and the chips got mushy and the bread got dry 🙁 Sad!) Have a great day, girl!
