    It's been awhile since I've done a 'healthy' recipe on LCB and for that I can only say... Oops!

    It's not that I don't enjoy testing and playing with healthier ingredient alternatives. I do. It's also not that I don't enjoy eating the healthier alternatives. I do. I really, really do. (Just look at  the collection of delicious healthy treats).

    Anyway, today a healthy recipe is back! These cookies will disappear like hot cakes. Peanut butter lovers rejoice... Chocolate lovers rejoice... This one is for you.

    To make these healthy peanut butter cookies we use oats and oat flour in place of wheat so all those who struggle with wheat or gluten, you can have these. ***Gluten warning: Check your brand of oats***

    These are dairy free so these are suitable for vegans and we get our fats and liquids from the peanut butter and coconut oil.

    They are also refined sugar free so instead we use coconut sugar and maple syrup. This means less spikes in our blood sugars and more trace minerals than regular sugar.

    These cookies get a lovely chew from the use of oats and oat flour while the coconut oil keeps the cookies lovely and soft in  the center. Straight from the oven is best when the cookies are really soft and chocolate chips are all melty and the peanut butter is in its stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth stage.

    It's exactly a week today before I head off to Auckland before making the trip over to Australia! I will be having fun at the theme parks on  the Gold Coast before sight-seeing and catching up with family in Brisbane. Of course I will be eating my way around both places so if you have any suggestions on food places I must try or things I must see and do, please let me know in the comments!
