Easy Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whenever I find recipes for flourless cookies, the flour is almost always replaced with something like almond flour/almond meal, coconut flour, or something else that I might not always have stocked in my pantry. However, when I found this recipe on Pinterest, I was surprised that there really is no flour of any kind. I was also skeptical and excited because there were only four ingredients involved: peanut butter, honey, egg and chocolate chips.

The original recipe did not include chocolate chips, but I had some on hand so I threw them in. I used Enjoy Life chocolate chips to keep the recipe more clean. Hubby and I were both nervous to take a bite after they came out, but once we did we were hooked. These clearly were some of the best cookies I have ever made, and I love to bake so that says a lot.

I recently made these again for Easter and doubled up the recipe, which resulted in the use of just a little over one jar of peanut butter.

I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!




Ready to be devoured!

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Bites

A lot of people on Instagram have been discussing the urge to refrain from snacking or binging on unhealthy food. I am a total snacker and have a major sweet tooth, which isn’t helpful at all when it comes to being healthy.

However, instead of eliminating snacking and sweets from my diet I’ve found different healthier versions to replace the so good but so bad for me stuff.

One snack I recently played around with are these peanut butter banana chocolate bites. I was so happy with the way they turned out and the whole family loved them.

I refrigerated them after they were complete, but next time I will freeze them since hubby had mentioned more than once that they’ll probably taste even more better that way.

This is also a great snack for kids. Baby boy couldn’t get enough!

Chocolatey goodness. I used a Trader Joe's dark chocolate bar - 85% cacao
