I made some peanut butter honey carob chip energy balls earlier in the week because I LOVE chocolate and peanut butter together....after putting the carob chips in i realized they have "malt" in the ingredient list. Malt is something to look out for as someone who is allergic to gluten. So i decided to try anyways. I haven't been diagnosed yet so i don't know if i am celiac or just gluten intolerant. Well bad decision to try them...i had a stomach ache for a few days, gas and a little stomach pain. So my good friend Mel and Matt got half the batch and my mom is getting the other half. So sad since i used 3 chips of my expensive gluten free oats in them:( Sighhh...it's a learning process.
So today i decided i needed to make or make something i can enjoy as a snack for the week. I make a different kind of snack every week. Sometimes i'll make raw nut butter bars of some sort, home made lara bats or this week it's a healthy cookie! Who doesn't want to enjoy a healthy cookie? Now there is still sugar in these...but it's organic sugar and spread across 16 cookies it isn't much.
2 cups GF oats (GF means gluten free, it's an acronym i will start using)
1 cup natural PB
1/3 cup organic sugar
1 egg
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 a dark chocolate bar broken into chunks
and i added a little water to make them more moist and more like a cookie batter...not sure how much though maybe 1/4 cup
1. Beat the peanut butter and sugar together. Then beat in the egg and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl mix your GF oats, baking powder, baking soda and dark chocolate chunks
2. Mix in the PB mixture
3. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spoon out dough.
4. Bake at 350 for about 12-15 min.
5. Let cool and enjoy
