Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie
Servings: 3-4
INGREDIENTS
½ cup dry rolled oats
1 can chickpeas, drained (reserve liquid)
¼ cup powdered peanut butter
1 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. pure maple syrup
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract, divided use
¼ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
¾ cup reduced-fat (0 or 2%) plain Greek yogurt
¾ cup reduced-fat (1%) cottage cheese
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
5 drops liquid stevia (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. Lightly coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with spray; set aside.
3. Add oats to a food processor; cover. Pulse until superfine.
4. Add chickpeas, powdered peanut butter, 2 Tbsp. reserved chickpea liquid (reserve remaining liquid for another recipe), maple syrup, baking powder, 1½ tsp. extract, and salt; cover. Pulse until smooth; press mixture into prepared skillet.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (it should still be a little gooey in the middle, as well).
6. While cookie bakes, add yogurt, cottage cheese, Shakeology, remaining ½ tsp. extract, and stevia to a blender; cover. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes, or until very smooth.
7. Slice cookie into thirds; top each slice with ¾ cup chocolate frosting. Enjoy!
