TEFF PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!

My girlfriend and her three kids came over for a visit today. They are 1 1/2, 4 and 7. The oldest one told her mom that she didn’t want to come over to my place because all we would do is eat vegetables and watch the news....lol.


I thought I would give her a little surprise when she came over. I decided to make these awesome cookies that are made with whole grain teff flour, organic peanut butter and no refined sugar; I used pure maple syrup instead.


You could also use almond butter or seed butter such as pumpkin or sunflower.


They were a true hit! If you are looking for a healthy cookie to serve your kids or for a sweet treat yourself, look no further....these cookies are amazing.

I slightly adapted this recipe from CLEAN FOOD by: Terry Walters

Here goes;

3/4 cup of teff flour (I buy my teff flour from the Bulk Barn, it is much cheaper there)

1/4 tsp sea salt (if needed, I did not add this because there is salt in the peanut butter)

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (I love the MaraNatha brand, found at the health food store or health food section of your grocery store)


1/2 cup maple syrup


1 tsp of pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup of pure dark chocolate chips (try to get 70% cacao or more)

Directions:
Preheat oven 350F.

Combine all dry ingredients and wet ingredients in another. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix together. Fold in chocolate chips.

Grease cookie sheet with 1 tsp of butter or coconut oil. Drop a heaping tbsp of cookie dough on sheet. Press each one down with a fork.


The key to make these cookies taste amazing with a great texture is to not over cook them. They should take about 13 minutes depending on the temperature of your oven.


Remove from oven and let cool. ENJOY!


Makes 10 cookies.

Here are the girls enjoying the cookies! There was chocolate everywhere! Good thing we were outside...lol. The little guy can't have them yet but he had his own little treats :-)

  2. It seems far more and more, more mature males from the late 20s
    to the mid 40s are obtaining involved with women ranging from 16-20.
    Just in a common social observation, both the girls and males appear to want these types
    of interactions, and it frequently finishes inside a quick time and is
    emotionally harmful.

  9. Took a single 425 mg capsule every morning for 8 months.

    Enormous loss in appetitie following a single
    week. Lost 21 pounds in spite of unrestricted diet and deficiency
    of workout, just fewer energy every day on account of reduced
    apetite. Regular bowel actions with free stool was an annoyance.
    The label on the bottle mentioned get only for 8 months.
    Enormous head-eache (caffenie withdrawl) and exteremely
    sleepy the very first working day (not a cofffe drinker) Stool back to standard proper
    away. It took only 1 day to obtain back again the outdated
    hunger. Currently gained five pounds in four days.
    I can not uncover something around the world wide web
    that tells me how long to remain off. If I hold out 2-3 more
    weeks I'm frightened at this price I will achieve all of the 21 pounds back. What takes place if I'm going more time than 8 months at a time
    or consider it permanently? What's the draw back? Facet effect?

  11. All you Superman lovers have to remember that Superman, no matter how strong he is, will get no stronger.

    You keep forgetting Doomsday killed him and he struggles with
    Darkseid all the time. All I must say is when have you seen the Hulk die?
    Case closed, even if Supes is winning The Hulk just wants to obtain madder.
    Hulk wins 100% of the time.
