Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. These are pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself. This simple cookie recipe only calls for a handful of simple ingredients.
These cookies are a little crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. The idea for this recipe came because I had some leftover peanut butter and oats from making my peanut butter cup granola.
Cherry Chocolate Chip Nice Cream. My family’s challenge lately has been to cook from the pantry, fridge or freezer. We have so much excess food and we need to get through it all.
That is exactly how this healthy nice cream recipe came about. I have leftover frozen bananas and leftover frozen cherries in the freezer. Plus, a HUGE bag on Enjoy Life chips to use up.
This healthy ice cream recipe is vegan, gluten free AND paleo friendly! Another bonus is that you don’t even need an ice cream maker to make it. It’s super easy!
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bites. These healthy bites are very kid-friendly and perfect for little hands to grab. Who doesn’t like chocolate for breakfast?
If you liked my coffee chocolate oatmeal bites, then you will love these!. I actually thought about putting the coffee extract in these and then decided not to at the last minute.
If you like chocolate for breakfast I highly recommend my Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oats too.
These little oatmeal bites are gluten free and vegan. If you are not a fan of chocolate, some chopped dates or raisins would be good as well.
If you went with the dried fruit, I suggest adding some cinnamon too. That would be good. These little bites are great for on the go and they freeze well too!
Now that it’s September, in my world it’s okay to bring on the pumpkin recipes! These delicious pumpkin chocolate chunk cookies are gluten free, contain no refined sugars, and are the perfect way to start out the pumpkin recipe season. This healthy pumpkin chocolate chunk cookie recipe reminds me of pumpkin chocolate chunk cookies I use to buy at Smith’s grocery store in Las Vegas.
The recipe is not only good, but I have a fabulous giveaway for you all as well! When I first started eating clean, the very first thing I bought was my KitchenAid® Artisan® Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer. I love it and can’t say enough good things about it. It’s a top quality product that is worth every penny. If you are wondering, I am not being paid to say these things. I truly do love my mixer and use it almost everyday. So I contacted KitchenAid and asked if they would donate a mixer for a giveaway and they said yes! This is the very mixer I have. KitchenAid® Artisan® Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer. A $349 value!
This giveaway is open to US residents only.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These cookies are thick and have a cake like texture. I got 15 large cookies out of my batch. I keep them in the fridge so they last longer. You can also freeze them as well. Enjoy!
Here is yet another pumpkin recipe I just love muffins, so it was only fitting I would make healthy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. They make me feel like I am eating cake for breakfast. 🙂 Growing up in Boston, we had a Dunkin Donuts on every corner.
One of the things I loved there was the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Then one day I looked up the nutrition facts. They have 600 calories and 26 grams of fat. Ouch!
Meadow and I ate one as soon as they came out of the oven. Yum! Do you have a Dunkin Donuts nearby? We only have a handful here in Texas.
If you are a visual person, I filmed this short video on how to make these. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
I made you healthy oatmeal cookies! Just because I try to eat healthy doesn’t mean I stopped loving cookies. One of my favorite recipes before I started eating healthy was my grandmother’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. The original recipe called for processed flours and processed sugars. These healthy oatmeal cookies are much better for you. So have a couple. 🙂
I loaded mine up with spices so that I would need to add very little sugar. Did you know that spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla make foods appear sweeter than they are. It’s like a trick of the senses or something.
