I’m in two minds about baking lately. I do miss the tranquility and satisfaction it gives me but at the same time, since starting to eat clean about a year ago, anytime I have a piece of pastry my body automatically rejects it. The solution? Find recipes that use very minimal butter, oil, sugar, and sweetness in general.
This evening I had a serious urge to do some baking. The last time I baked was over the Christmas break where I made some “healthy” oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies and they were fantastic. The problem? I went to find the recipe again tonight and couldn’t remember when I grabbed it from. The happy result was finding a recipe for peanut butter oatmeal cookies – win!
The only alterations I made to Ambitious Kitchen‘s recipe was:
- adding 1 teaspoon of cinammon
- using a total of 2 teaspoons vanilla
- using Whittaker’s 72% Dark Ghana Chocolate Sante Block for chocolate chunks
The cookies came out fantastically fluffy, not too sweet, generously sized and only took 9 minutes in the oven. An absolute hit.
Oh yuuuuuuuuuuum! I need to try these, thanks
That Whittaker’s 72% Dark Ghana Chocolate is the business to bake with eh!
Mary – they were super easy and quick to make but the best part is they taste amazing! If you do make them please let me know if you change anything up and what you think! x
