Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

Remember when you were a kid and mom would make peanut butter cookies and you couldn’t wait to lick the batter? I came up with a healthier vegan and gluten-free version without the sugar, butter, flour or eggs.

1/3 cup quinoa flakes (toasted oats would probably work well too)

2 T unsweetened peanut butter

2 T honey

1 T coconut water (if mixture is too dry)

1 T salted chopped peanuts (optional)

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla protein powder

Pinch of cacao nibs or 1-2 teaspoons of chocolate chips

Mix all except cacao/chocolate until smooth. Divide dough into two portions. Top with cacao nibs or chocolate chips. Serves two. Approx 275 calories.
