Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe offers a variety of health benefits thanks to its nutrient-rich ingredients. Organic peanut butter provides healthy fats that support heart health by promoting balanced cholesterol levels and lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. The combination of carbohydrates and healthy fats delivers a steady source of energy, making it an excellent choice for a pre-workout snack or a mid-day boost. Additionally, the inclusion of dark chocolate chips adds antioxidants, which help fight oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness.

Ingredients:
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Organic Peanut Butter (runny)
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
  1. Whisk the egg and brown sugar well in a large bowl until smooth. Add the salt, peanut butter, and baking soda and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  2. Transfer the cookie dough mixture to the fridge for ten minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Scoop one tablespoon of dough per cookie and form it into a ball. Place the ball on the baking sheet and flatten it with a fork, leaving some space between cookies. Use another baking sheet or bake in batches if needed.
  5. Bake in the oven for 10 to 11 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack for another five minutes. Enjoy!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
