Outrageous Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Outrageous peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are outrageous because they possess all of the addictive qualities of a chocolate chip cookie despite being refined sugar free, egg and dairy free! They are chewy, abundant with chocolate, and have a rich flavor.

If you prefer a smoother texture, you can replace the oats, almond flour, and flaxseed meal with 2 1/4 cups spelt flour. I like the crunchiness added by the oats.

Makes 18 large or 24 smaller cookies ( adapted from the Vegetarian Times)

1 1/2 cups natural peanut butter

3/4 cup quick oats

3/4 cup almond flour

1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Microwave the peanut butter in the microwave for 30 seconds or up to a minute until melted, stirring if necessary.

Combine the oats, almond flour, flaxseed meal, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the melted peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until blended.

Drop 2 tbs for each cookie onto the baking sheets and flatten slightly. Bake 14-17 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to not overbake. Cool 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

  • This delicious marinated tomato recipe was adapted from Ludovic Lefebvre of Petit Trois restaurants in LA. It really takes tomatoes to a whole new level and is my new go to. It has unexpected ingredients that seem to work magic on the flavors. Try this marinade, you will not regret it, with burrata or goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, or even on avocado toast. Enjoy! 6 ripe tomatoes or approx 5-6 cups sliced cherry tomatoes 1/2 cup torn basil leaves 1 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or balsamic vinegar) 1/3 cup honey 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 2 teaspoons coriander seeds 1/4 scraped vanilla bean pod salt, pepper to taste Instructions Place tomatoes in a heatproof glass container, cut side down. Add the basil to the tomatoes. Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, 1/4 scraped vanilla bean pod, and coriander seeds in a sauce pot. Bring to a boil. Pour the boiling marinade over the tomatoes. Allow to cool to room temperature and marinate tomatoes in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. Season with salt and pepper before serving. #marinatedtomatoes, #easyrecipes, #mtlfoodies, #summerrecipes, #delicious, #bonjourcuisine
  • This dish is the perfect weeknight dinner the whole family will love. The secret to this wonderful salmon teriyaki recipe is tossing the salmon filets in cornstarch before cooking. It helps build a crust that the deliciously spicy sauce can really stick to. Ingredients 5 tablespoons rice vinegar 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari 1-2 tablespoons hot chili paste such as sambal oelek, or Thai chili paste. Adjust for desired spice level. 2 tablespoons honey 1 lb. skinless salmon cut into filets 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt divided, plus more 3 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 scallions very thinly sliced on a diagonal 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds Instructions In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, and honey. Place salmon filets on a plate and season salmon filets with 1 teaspoon salt, followed by the cornstarch. Make sure the salmon filets are properly coated. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook salmon in a single layer, undisturbed, until nicely browned underneath, 2–3 minutes. Turn and cook until other side is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over salmon and continue to cook, gently turning salmon halfway through, until sauce is thickened slightly and clinging to salmon, about 1 minute. (Sauce will bubble when first added and will then calm down.) Drizzle sauce from pan over salmon filets to serve, and top with scallions and toasted sesame seeds. #salmondinner, #salmonteriyaki, #kosherrecipes, #kosherfoodie, #easyrecipes, #30minutemeals
  • With a fridge full of leftovers, including white rice, some smoked meat and various veggies, I thought that a stir fry is a delicious way to combine all these separate elements, and use up some of those leftovers. I followed Sam Sifton’s technique from the New York Times and it always works like a charm. The ingredients and quantities below are only meant to be a guide, and don’t need to be followed exactly. It’s the technique that I think is wonderful: frying the beef in oil before cooking the veggies adds flavour to the stir fry, and cooking the eggs in the pan coats the rice with delicious flavour. This recipe can be adapted to any protein or veggie combo of your choice. Ingredients: 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil 2 cup Smoked meat, shredded or cubed (or other cooked protein) 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp ginger, minced 1 small onion, finely diced 1 carrot, finely diced 1/2 red pepper, minced 1 cup broccoli florets, cooked 1 cup kale, finely chopped 2 eggs, lightly beaten with a fork 3 cups white rice 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or regular) 2 tbsp hoisin sauce (can also use teriyaki) 2 tbsp scallions, minced (for garnish) Instructions Start by heating a wok pan. Don’t worry if you don’t have one, I used a regular non-stick pan and it was perfect. Warm vegetable oil, about 1-2 tablespoons at medium-high heat. Add beef and sauté until crisped. Fish the beef out of the pan, and reduce heat to medium. Add the garlic and ginger and stir fry for about 30 seconds. Add the remaining vegetables to the pan and cook till softened, about 7-10 minutes. Add the beef back into the pan. Make a space in the middle of the pan for the eggs. Stir until cooked and mix with the vegetables and beef. Add the rice and the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, sesame oil and hoisin) and increase heat until all ingredients heated. Top with scallions and serve.
