We're always finding new ways to enjoy our favorite recipes. While we love indulging in classic peanut butter cookies, some days we would rather enjoy that same delicious taste with a better-for-you, low-calorie recipe instead! We substituted in a combination of whole wheat flour, honey, brown sugar, and vegetable oil so these low-calorie peanut butter cookies would stay sweet and chewy but have less fat and fewer calories than the original recipe. Don't worry, you don't need to tell anyone, just enjoy them for how delicious they look and taste!

SKINNY PEANUT BUTTER PB2 COOKIES

An peanut buttery, protein-packed, and better-for-you treat! These cookies are cake-like (not crispy or chewy per se) but yummy nonetheless! I oftentimes substitute 2/3 of the required flour with Quest Nutrition's multi-purpose protein powder for extra protein and less carbs. Note: PB2 is not factored into the nutritional information, but here are the additional nutrition stats per cookie: +15 calories, 1/2 gram fat, 1/3 gram sugar, 2 grams cabs, 2 grams protein.

1/4 cup stevia, in the raw
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup powdered peanut butter (PB2)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unbleached flour
1/2 egg
1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl (stevia, brown sugar, PB2, baking soda, salt, flour/protein).

  • Your batter will be quite sticky. If it seems like it isn't combining, add a little bit of almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time.
  • Lightly dampen your hands and roll tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and press them down onto a cooking-spray'ed cookie sheet.
