NEW RECIPE!!!! - PB Sweet Potato Protein Cookies

 

 

I love desserts and so does my husband. So this weekend I made something new for us!! I made us peanut butter sweet potato protein cookies, and I think the big smile on his face and the empty container means he liked them. Husband tested, Fix approved!

What You Need:

• 3 medium sized sweet potatoes (Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until soft)
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 Tablespoons of natural peanut butter
• 3/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (I use Vega One Protein powder. I do not use shakeology because you can not cook with it.)
• 3 teaspoon pumpkin pie seasoning.

1. Mix all ingredients together in in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in a food processor.
2. Scoop out a tsp and mold into a small ball. Flatten slightly with a fork.  Place the cookies on a cookie sheet that has a light spray of coconut or olive oil.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
4. Makes approximately 24 cookies.

3 cookies equal 1 RED, 1/2 YELLOW and 1 TSP.

These cookies are delicious and you can't even tell they are made from Sweet Potatoes!!! This is a must try and great kid friendly / healthy snack!!!

35 minutes

12-15 bars

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond meal

1/2 cup nut butter or coconut oil

8 to 14 oz. of sweetened almond or coconut milk 

1 1/3 cup coconut flakes, finely shredded, no sugar added

1 cup chopped pecans  (optional)

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a food processor or with a fork, combine almond meal with nut butter or oil.
3. Press the almond meal mixture in a well greased 9 x 13 " Pyrex dish.
4. Pour the sweetened almond or coconut milk over the top of the almond mixture.
5. Spread the coconut and chocolate chips evenly over the sweetened condensed milk.
6. Press down evenly with a fork.
7. **Alternatively, you can add half of the sweetened  milk, then the coconut and chocolate chips, with the second half of the sweetened milk on the top of those.
8. Either way works nicely.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until bubbly and brown.

Notes

**For me, layering the homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk, a layer on the crust, and a layer over the top of the chocolate, nuts and coconut flakes, worked perfectly.
