| Peanut Butter Cookies |
What is there not to love about a good old fashioned peanut butter cookie, except for the fact that it usually isn't very healthy? This recipe changes all that without sacrificing any of the flavor, sweetness or peanut buttery goodness. By using all whole grains, chia seeds, coconut oil instead of butter, and pure maple syrup instead of sugar, this cookie is high in fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals, while also being vegan and insanely yummy. For fun and because I still have a lot of Halloween candy left over, I topped a dozen of the cookies with small pieces of Snicker's candy bars: a sure way to make my kids think they are getting a special treat. And although these cookies taste like dessert, they are more than healthy enough to serve for breakfast, as I did for my kids today. If only they knew how lucky they are!
