Healthy Peanut Butter Power Cookies

These peanut butter power cookies are delicious but so packed with nutrition that they are healthy enough to eat as your breakfast or morning/afternoon snack.

In fact, I encourage it!

Here’s a video showing just how easy they are to make!

And the texture is cookie-like, not cakey like a lot of healthy cookies, despite the addition of healthy fat from ground flaxseed.

They are easy to throw together, too.

Simply mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet in another…

Then combine!

When the batter is ready, place on a baking sheet and bake.

12 to 15 minutes later and you will have some serious tastiness.

Here’s the full recipe.
