This delicious healthy cookie recipe is brought to you courtesy of Natvia, who have sent me a new supply of their stevia-based granulated sweetener to play around with! I've been using Natvia for quite a while now; it's a very handy addition to your pantry if you're looking to make some sweet recipes that do not use sugar. The granulated texture makes it quite easy to substitute in to baking. Now, on to these COOKIES. Peanut butter, wholegrain rolled oats and dark chocolate chips... is there any better base for a delicious cookie? It's a classic recipe, but I've put a more natural and healthy spin on these particular peanut butter oat choc chip cookies by (i) using 100% pure peanut butter (just crushed peanuts and nothing else) and also (ii) removing refined sugar, using Natvia to sweeten the dough. They're also gluten free, provided you buy certified gluten free oats. I like to use dairy free dark chocolate chips in my cookies that are sweetened with coconut-sugar (see recipe notes for a link to the product that I usually buy). If you can't get chocolate chips of a decent quality - I know they can sometimes be hard to find - simply chop up your favourite dark chocolate into little chunks and use that instead. Want to keep these cookies super low sugar? Swap the chips for unsweetened cacao nibs! Go you.
