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!
