Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites
Healthy AND edible peanut butter cookie dough!?!? Yes please!
I've gotta say that the best thing about vegan baking is that I get to eat the batter! Don't you agree that the batter always taste even better than the baked goods? It's an intensified version of the baked goods; it's sweeter, so much more buttery and so decadent! I find that sometimes baking seems to tone down that intensified yumminess.
With this edible cookie dough you finally have an excuse to eat cookie dough straight up off the bowl- it's made super healthy with mooring and fenugreek extract! The health benefits in these two are endless. Fenugreek is rich in minerals and vitamins like magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, folic acid, thiamin and riboflavin to say a few. That's not even half of the vitamins and minerals they have! It's also an aphrodisiac, lowers cholesterol level, promotes lactation and contains choline that will help with menopausal and PMS issues.
Adding moringa into this cookie dough not only adds flavour but also tons of vitamins. Just like fenugreek, moringa is an amazing superfood. Its high nutrient content even helps improve malnutrition- alongside its other great benefits to relieve health issues like anemia, high blood tension and blood sugar. This is a superfied peanut butter cookie dough bite!
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites
Makes fourteen 12g bite sized balls
Ingredients
60 grams peanut butter
40 grams rolled oats
50 grams steamed sweet potato (skin removed)
1 tsp ground flaxseed
2 tbsp honey or other liquid sweetener of choice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
4 tbsp cacao nibs or chocolate chips
Method
1. Place oats in a blender and ground until fine.
2. Then add in all the remaining ingredients except cacao nibs and blend until it forms a paste. You can also mix it by hand if you choose to by simply replacing rolled oats for quick cooking oats or oat flour, but it'll require extra time and effort to knead the dough.
3. The mixture will be crumbly at first but after blending for a few more seconds it'll form a ball of dough. The dough should be easy to handle and not stick to your hands. You can also mix it by hand if you choose to.
4. Take out the dough to a clean surface and add in the 4 tbsp of cacao nibs. With clean hands, knead until all the cacao nibs are well distributed throughout the dough.
5. Roll into around 12 grams bite sized balls each and now they're ready to eat! This will keep for 5-7 days in the fridge.
