3 Ingredient Cookies
Nothing better than a QUICK and easy dessert to make and devour! 3 ingredients.
Ingredients:
Powdered Peanut Butter
I consume a ridiculous amount of peanut butter (true fact: a friend calls me the “Peanut Butter Princess”) as it is filling, energy rich, protein dense, and DELICIOUS. I eat it year round, especially during marathon training season. My one reservation about peanut butter is the massive amounts of fat and oil…so when I found PB2 in Whole Foods, it was a DREAM COME TRUE! (I had to pinch myself).
PB2
Banana/PB Cookies
Nothing is better than a healthy cookie! Based off of Nikki’s Cookies from 101 Cookbooks, I set out to make a new and different version of these tasty bites. Truth is, I wanted to make Nikki’s Cookies actual recipe, but I didn’t have most of the ingredients, so I had to improvise…. but let me tell you, these new cookies still tasted delicious and I would make them again in a heartbeat!
Ingredients:
* 2 large, ripe bananas, well mashed
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 cups of flour (whole wheat, normal, almond, any variety works)
* 1 1/2 cup coconut, finely shredded & unsweetened
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 cup of nut butter. Peanut, almond, or cashew.
AND LOTS AND LOTS OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS! Healthy, right?
Directions:
Ingredients
* First, mush up the banana making it soft and gooey. The banana acts both as the sweetener and the fat in the cookie. Thank you, Mr. Banana.

* Place all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix them together.
Favorite Nut Butters
Frequent Josie Girl Blog readers know that (1) I hoard food and (2) I can eat an entire jar of almond or peanut butter in a sitting. Yes, both are problems. But both make me happy. SO…..here are my favorite peanut and almond butters, as well as runner- ups.
TOP PEANUT BUTTER COMPANY: PB CRAVE
My most recent find is an amazing peanut butter company that specializes in a twist of flavors. PB Crave. Once again — peanut butter with a splash of fun. Right up my alley!
The name is oh-so-fitting, because once you have a teaspoon of this peanut butter, you will end up eating at least five cups. You will *CRAVE* this treat.
And yes, I spend time on the internet searching for “unique peanut butter flavors.” And let me tell you, this peanut butter is AH-MAZING. Seriously, it is dangerous having it in the house because I can easily eat half a jar with a spoon. I eat crackers and bread, just so I can eat the peanut butter and not look as pathetic. It is delicious with anything and everything. For reals.
Another amazing feature of this peanut butter is that you can buy it on amazon. And that adds instant value and awesomeness to any product. Especially peanut butter.
The four flavors (choco choco, coco bananas, razzle dazzle, and cookie nookie) are all scrumptious.
