Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Snacks
I've been playing around with gluten free and I thought I'd try my hand at those popular gluten free protein bites. So I improvised a recipe and what I got was basically a sort of guilt-free cookie dough ball, packed with peanut protein from both peanut butter and peanut flour.
What I used:
Now I'll start by saying I didn't measure anything I just dumped things in in varying amounts so I'll do my best to keep the ratios right to my memory.
3/4 cup ish creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup ish ground flax
1/2 c oat flour
1 cup or more peanut powder
Few tablespoons of cocoa powder
teaspoon of vanilla
half cup of brown sugar
honey until it's a loose crumble that sticks together when crushed.
I used the warmth of my hand and pressure to crush handfuls of the somewhat sandy substance into these balls, shaping them by pressing on them to smooth them over. They were quick to crumble, so careful forming was needed.
I chilled them in the freezer for about a half hour then boxed them up, storing them in the fridge.
Thanks for following and supporting, until next time!
The view is insane!
They look yummy!
What is peanut powder and oat flour - are they just crushed up peanut and oats?
Oat flour can be made by pulsing oats in a blender. Peanut powder is this magical stuff that's ground de-fatted peanuts...not sure on processes BUT ITS SO GOOD.
Thank you for the response, defatted peanuts that sounds really interesting, might have to try to find some in the stores.
Hey I just saw you on the Dollar Vigilante!! I noticed you upvoted me the other day -- your awesome! Cheers!
I bet they are good, but they look like they're made out of sand, lol
@lily-da-vine this looks yummy and easy to do! Thanks for sharing! - @go2sheila
I have to move to acapulco and eat. New life goals.
My two sisters are celiac, so this would be an amazing thing for them. It looks amazing, I already wanna try this ones. I know its not that easy to cook gluten free, so do you think this is an easy recipe, or maybe I should let them do this? gonna resteem it to keep it in my blog. Thanks for sharing, you just earned a follower.
yum! going to make these !
@lily-da-vine looks very nice :) I am avoiding gluten and lactose so yours cookies are perfect for me and to be honest I am missing some sweets recently :P
I’ve created new recipe of beetroot soup which I think may be interesting to you. It’s the best dish in the summertime! Kindly take a look :) Cheers!
I will be in Acapulco. I don't know when. Hopefully May. But I would LOVE to frequent your place for dinner. How much? I love chile relleno and albóndinga. And I am quite the chef myself, I always dreamed of filming myself cooking a special dinner for my various sets of friends. The conversation would actually be the star of the show with the food being a close second... A kind of biographical/culinary party with witty narrative concerning life and cooking....
Wow these energy balls look so delicious! Thanks for this great recipe! I have to make them for sure. Maybe I'll use some date syrup instead of the sugar, can't wait to try them :)♥
