Flourless PB&J Snack Cookies

March 21, 2014 By Robyn 26 Comments

Happy Friday!!!

This week FLEW by. I feel like Monday came and now it’s Friday. It’s been weird, yet awesome to be working for myself now since my last day at the clinic was last Friday. These days I’m just doing Nutshell Nutrition full time and that’s more than enough I think.

Also, I was guest posting over at Kath’s incredible blog on Wednesday and I didn’t even know the post was going up that day, oops. So I was trying to keep up with email, new clients, comments over on her blog and comments on mine so sorry for any response delays! I think I’m finally resurfacing, thank you for being so patient 🙂

The week was filled with seeing Nutshell clients, coffee and walks in the sunshine with friends and baking! I’m trying to use up all the flours, sugar, nuts, etc that I have in my kitchen before moving in 6 weeks so this recipe is one of many to come I’m certain.

And it’s an adaptation from one of my favorite cookie recipes ever…flourless chocolate chip cookies! I make a batch almost every week for snacks and nighttime noshing and figured I needed to make a different variety to spice thing up ya know?

And this week I canNOT get enough PB & J. Gosh, it’s so simple yet so good.

Salty PB.
Sweet jam.
Heaven in mah mouth.

So this recipe came to fruition after I found a whole lotta peanuts and a whole lotta dried fruit in my cupboards. And then I saw a brown banana staring at me from the counter and the lightbulb went on.

I whipped up a quick batch of homemade PB in the Vitamix, which is so simple ya’ll, but you could just use any jarred PB you like! I’m not all domestic, churning out homemade nut butters on the reg, but on Monday I was.

Then a threw a few more ingredients in a bowl, gave it a stir, and 7 minutes later we had snack cookies!

I say snack cookies because I would not consider these dessert, at all. They’re made with peanut butter, flax, a banana and some dried fruit and none of those foods say dessert to me.

Which means snack on ’em all you want! Breakfast, post lunch, mid afternoon, late night…whatever blows your skirt up.

They’re moist, chewy and chock full of peanut buttah jelly flava.

I’m hiking Old Rag with a few friends and my little brother today and we surely have some packed for snacking.

Flourless PB & J Snack Cookies
1 cup organic peanut butter
2 overly ripe mashed bananas
1/3 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar [optional]
1/3 cup dried cherries and blueberries [or cranberries]

Mix all the ingredients into a bowl and stir until just combined. If your peanut butter is super thick add a tablespoon of almond milk. Then gently stir in your dried fruit. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. You want them to be slightly underdone.

You can switch up the nut butter and use almond or sunflower seed butter too!
Happy weekend and happy snacking friends!

Women’s Reproductive Health 101

I have yet to experience postpartum myself, but I've had many clients and readers that have been through that season of life. Or perhaps you are currently living through the postpartum period. Every woman's body is different, therefore every woman's experience after giving birth will be different. What works for one woman, might not work for the next. While one woman might go through postpartum and adjust to newborn life quiet seamlessly, another woman might find it much more difficult. She might need the support of medication, therapy, extra help and many other things. One way is not better than the other - they are simply two different ways of navigating the postpartum period. I hope this post helps you better care for yourself, whatever that means for you. There's no right or wrong way to care for yourself as a mom or your new baby.

We veered from our usual Friday night homemade piz We veered from our usual Friday night homemade pizza (minus the dough, we leave that to @albemarlebakingco) because we are eating pizza tomorrow with some friends - instead I called my mom and asked her how she makes her chicken fingers and we fried up a big ole batch of chicken nugs 🙌🏻🤤 along with a sheet pan full of sweet potato fries and a simple arugula salad dressed with parmesean, olive oil and s&p. Oh and my moms honey mustard recipe for dipping. It’s SO DANG GOOD.  Over the past 6ish months we’ve been practicing (and practicing and practicing bc it doesn’t come naturally) unplugging from technology and slowing down and resting and just being for one day a week. Some call it Shabbat. Some call it Sabbath. Maybe you call it something different. All I know is IT IS SO GOOD FOR MY WEARY SOUL and the day I look forward to ALL WEEK. Sundown on Friday to sundown Saturday. Nothing but rest. For us that means hiking (or something outside) and napping and reading and being with friends and eating really good food. And drinking some really good wine or craft beer. Sometimes whiskey. 😛  And because I know I’ll get asked about the chicken finger recipe and also because it’s too good not to share and Momma Coale said I could, here ya go:  Cut chicken breast into thin strips or small pieces (I prefer nug size bc the breading to chicken ratio is perfection). Salt and pepper those babies really well. Then dredge them in all purpose flour, then egg, then panko - just like you would bread anything else. Then fry them up in a light oil - I use avocado oil because that’s our everyday oil. You could also use canola or peanut oil. Just fill a pan with an inch or so of oil on medium high heat. They only take 2-3 minutes per side. You can always temp them to make sure they are at least 165 degrees F to really make sure they are done. Dunk in all the sauces and enjoy!  Happy weekend!
I am not a craft mom. My version of crafts is baki I am not a craft mom. My version of crafts is baking because 1) my toddler actually engages with it and 2) we have tasty things to eat in the end.  Wanna know how long crafts last in our house? Approximately 23 seconds. Maybe 51 on a good day. So we just stopped crafting a long time ago and instead started baking.  And when I need my toddler to stay in one place, I turn on the faucet. I am still utterly amazed at how long water can entertain a small human. And it’s FREE. 🙌🏻 well, mostly..  Send me all your favorite baking recipes because we are on a roll over here 👩🏻‍🍳

Spent two hours at Lowe’s this morning and wow, Spent two hours at Lowe’s this morning and wow, wowww 🤯 Asked at least six people where to find something and their opinion on all the options bc holy decision fatigue. Nursed my newborn on the floor of the paint aisle. And BLESS my new contractor friend Matt I found in the lumber section that pushed my cart around and helped me avoid the mistake of buying exterior wood for some DIY bathroom shelves.

I’m giving all our bathrooms a DIY makeover and I couldn’t be more of a rookie. So shoutout to all my Lowe’s buddies and YouTube 😜 You’re making this happen.
We are now officially homeowners. WUT? We didn’t We are now officially homeowners. WUT? We didn’t plan to close on a house 10 weeks after having a baby, but here we are. And we are so, so grateful.  And I’m also terrified. We’ve moved three times and lived in three different states since we got married three years ago. After six years spent living in New York City and Boston, moving back to Charlottesville was really, really hard for me. I cried a lot those first six months because my heart ached for the northeast and for city life. I wanted to pack up and go back to Boston ASAP. It felt so different and so quiet here and at times, very lonely. Even though it felt like the next right step, I second guessed our decision A LOT.
.
But here we are 10 months later ready to continue investing in this neighborhood we’ve come to love. And this community of people that have become so dear. Ten months later and it feels so, so right. And although committing to settling down here for a good bit feels really scary to me, it also brings so much peace to know we aren’t moving again anytime soon. We are here to plant and grow. And raise our babies in this house as we make it a home. It’s also really fun to have one of your best friends be your realtor. We love you @kelli.teter.nesting 🤗

Now, to see if we make it out of this kitchen renovation all in one piece 🤪
my go-to breakfast these days is two fried eggs in my go-to breakfast these days is two fried eggs in ghee with sautéed spinach (also in ghee) and an english muffin with more ghee + some sort of jam on half for that sweet & savory combo. we discovered these local english muffins (from The Bread Basket) and they are doughy and delicious and we are obsessed.
.
I’ve found that I need a solid source of protein and lots of fat for breakfast to keep me full while breastfeeding this time around vs with Cal, I was so into big bowls of pb & chocolate chip banana oatmeal. just goes to show our bodies know what they need and change cravings accordingly. also, just a psa: go pick up the maple butter from @traderjoes bc it is bonkers 🤤 and lastly, shout out to my husband bc a lot of mornings he is making this bfast for me while I nurse & try to pull myself out of bed - don’t for a moment think I’ve got it together 🤪

Because I feel more aligned with what matters to me when I’m not regularly present here.  I’m not really sure what things will look like moving forward, but for right now I’m here to share with you that I somehow found some spare minutes between newborn & toddler life to write a post with some semi-coherent thoughts on life lately. 🤪 You can head there by clicking the link in my profile.
