Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirl Blondies

July 18, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

When you’re indecisive and want both peanut butter and chocolate in your dessert…you end up with this. Worth every effort.

These blondies are fluffy, chewy, moist…and will melt in your mouth. A peanut butter blondie swirled with a chocolate batter and sprinkled with chocolate chips. Need I say more?

These are secretly healthier than your average blondie. Sweetened with coconut sugar and 100% gluten-free. And of course they are also completely vegan.

I highly recommend to sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt when they come right out of the oven!

Vegan Rhubarb Galette with Buttermilk Cornmeal Crust

June 30, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

Rhubarb Season isn’t short, so run to the farmers market as soon as you can and grab a couple pounds of fresh, ripe rhubarb. Often times people can be scared cooking/baking with rhubarb, as it’s a foreign vegetable -yes it’s a vegetable -to most. On my blog you’ll find a few delicious rhubarb recipes, as well as this one which I think has to be my favorite.

A sweet, tart rhubarb filling wrapped in a soft, buttery buttermilk cornmeal crust. The bits of fine cornmeal add a nice crunch which pairs beautifully with the buttery undertones. I’ll stop making you drool now, and get on with the recipe.

The Best Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 12, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

I am usually not a big fan of gluten-free desserts, as they are often dry, crumbly, and lack in rich flavors, however that isn’t the case for these cookies.

Not only are they soft and chewy on the inside, but provide a slight crunchiness on the outer layers. Embedded with gooey chunks of chocolate chips and rich notes of peanut butter. Dunk one (or two, three…) into a glass of non-dairy milk and I think you’ll have your sweet tooth satisifed for the rest of the day.

The blend of oat and almond flour provide a slightly nutty flavor with a soft and chewy texture. Almond always seems to bring out such a great flavor in chocolate chip cookies and I am always a fan of using it in a recipe even if it means using almond extract.

I recommend using creamy peanut butter to achieve a chewy texture, preferably an all-natural one not loaded with added sugars. This recipe works perfectly with either an egg or a flax egg. Whatever of your choosing. …
