Who doesn't love Brownies and Cookies! Unfortunately,
many people are still trying to stick to their New Years Resolutions,
which means no brownies or cookies allowed... right?... WRONG!
Inspired by this post, I have concocted a super healthy recipe for
sugar-free, gluten-free, high-protein, vegan brownie cookies :)
Carob Chip Brownie Cookies
Created by Snacking Squirrel
300g silken tofu
2/3 cup pure oats
1/3 cup carob powder
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup unsweetened carob chips
1 Tbsp vegan protein powder
Few Drops stevia liquid
(vanilla)
(vanilla)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
Dash cinnamon
+ nutmeg
+ nutmeg
Pinch sea salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 380 Fahrenheit
2. Grind oats into flour using a food processor
3. Mix dry and wet ingredients separately in 2 bowls
4. Add wet mix into dry, stirring briefly with spatula
5. Scoop 1/3 cup batter (per cookie) on a non-stick baking sheet
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes
It's hard to gauge how much stevia to use. Generally it's enough sweetness to
replace 1/3 cup - 1/2 cup plain sugar, or trial and error to find the right amount.
Each recipe makes 5 cookies; Each cookie is only 150 calories!
A perfect not-so-sinful indulgence for when you need a boost!
I love healthy cookies! These look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI just added some ingredients to my grocery list so I can make these. I can't wait. They look great!
ReplyDeleteYou know I am a fan of not-so-sinful indulgences! These sound perfect!
ReplyDeletethank you kelsey for posting this! they look awesome
ReplyDeleteQuestion: where do you find unsweetened carob chips??
ReplyDelete<3 <3
YUM!
ReplyDeleteAre these cookies sweet enough though?
I find carob to be a bit bitter, I guess I could add more Stevia to sweeten it up!
Do you know how many carbs are in a cookie?
wow they look SO decadent and i just lvoe that they are high in protein.
ReplyDeletetrying it today, thanks lovee
AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! KELSEY!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I love it when you go all sugar-free on me :) I can't wait to make these...only I will probably use unsweetened chocolate instead... :) :) :) :) :) :)
ReplyDeletethese look amazing for Valentines day or any day, right now for that matter.
ReplyDeleteThose look melt-in-your-mouth perfect!!
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteOoo.. these sound so good. I love brownies and cookies! I don't have protein powder, so I will probably just up the cocoa powder and hope it works! Thanks girly!
ReplyDeleteThose look absolutely delicious! I'm thinking I need to make some of those asap.
ReplyDeleteso creative! love the idea of a brownie in cookie form! :)
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious <3
ReplyDeleteTHESE look flippin fantastic!! saving this recipe!
ReplyDeleteyes, PLEASE!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cookies! Love not-so-sinful indulgences! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice!! Is there any substitute for the vegan protein powder?
ReplyDeleteI will be making these! I have a lot of silken tofu right now :)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing I like more than hearing "healthy" and "cookies" in the same sentence! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm really confused about the difference between chocolate, carb chips, cacao nibs, etc. I've been meaning to read up on that!
Yum! Those look so good. :) I'll definitely be making this sometime soon. Ish.
ReplyDeleteThose look SO chunky and delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI am so digging these sugar free recipes...now I just need to find a sweet tooth. Have you felt, snce your change in diet, a distint disincline for sweets? That's how I feel. I just want savory veggies and protein and fat all the time and maybe some fruit...I feel like a "native eater"....I'd be eager to know how the change has effeted you so far...after you have gone through the withdrawal. Do you crave sweet potatoes less, too? Ah...so many q's. Nevermind ansering them ... just fuel for future posts I suppose. (0:
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! Healthy cookies are always a winner in my book.
ReplyDeleteSilken tofu does wonders for baked goods! It makes cookies and cakes taste so moist...without all the fat and calories of butter! These look just delicious, my friend. I hope you are warm and happy on this cold winter night. Sweet dreams and many blessings!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you, I've tried carob a few times and haven't enjoyed the taste. That being said, your brownies cookies look so darn good I'm willing to give carob another try. Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Kelsey, you are the QUEEN of creating delectable, healthy baked treats! I'm so grateful for you and your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhich vegan protein powder do you prefer? I think I'm about to cave and buy some. :-)
HEY GIRL!!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to tell you I checked your blog this morning and had a MASSIVE craving for these cookies!! Sooo, yep, I didn't end up making the exact brownie cookies you made a cookie loaf with carob chips inspired by you and posted it on my blog.
Thanks for the deliciousness!!
Carob is pretty awesome, especially when those darn craving hit!
i love it when you post baked recipes. i am trying to eat less sugar and dairy and gluten. i use what you post as inspiration in my own baking adventures!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! They look delicious! Since I've been snowed in, I've had the itch to bake...I'll need to experiment with these!
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious--I just want to pop into the screen and bite one! Great job--I am going to make these soon
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! But I should not have the soy as I have adrenal and thyroid issues and soy wreaks havoc on hormones.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING. This has been saved for when I buy some carob powder, which I always pass by in the store. No more! These seriously look amazing and I'm always extra excited about baked recipes that use tofu for some reason. It just bumps up their cool factor somehow. Double yum!
ReplyDeleteYum! Such a cute idea to make brownies into cookies. Why have one when you can enjoy both?! Thanks for making them sugar-free, gluten-free, and vegan. I would love to try to make them soy-free, too, but that might be a bit difficult since that's a key ingredient.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!
Great job, Kelsey!! These look awesome, you know I love cookies sweetened with applesauce, they look so fudgey!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this looks so good, and super healthy too! Do you think it might be possible to do this in the mocrowave, somehow?
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well Kelsey! Sending loads of hugs and rainbows your way!
xoxo

ReplyDeleteThese cookies look the best! So dark & so nutricious too!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. Is the rest of the nutritional info available? Maybe I just am overlooking it?
