Chocolate chip peanut butter cookies recipe

 

Love peanut butter and chocolate? Try these guilt-free chocolate chip peanut butter cookies for a treat by Heidi Cannon.

What you'll need

  • ½ cup apple sauce 
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups oatmeal 
  • 1 sachet Stevia sweetener
  • 1 cup chocolate protein powder

What you'll do

Mix ingredients and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown (these cookies bake fast, so keep a close watch on the oven). 

Heidi's protein baking intel:

1. Always pre-spray any cooking tin or sheet as protein loves to stick! I use coconut oil or low-fat cooking spray. It also helps to use a non-stick baking dish or sheet.

2. Watch your baking. All ovens cook differently, so check them every five to 10 minutes to ensure optimal results.

3. Freeze. Because these recipes have no butter, flour or sugar, they don’t typically stay as well preserved as regular cakes and cookies. If you won’t get through 48 cookies in a few days (a-hem), freeze the rest and thaw as you need them. They’ll still taste great.

Robyn Lawley: I don't do fad diets or fake food

Robyn Lawley is the face of Pantene , a swimware designer and cookbook author. Here, she tells us how she stays in shape. "I am an Australian size 16, which is really rare in the fashion world," Robyn says. "People don’t understand that models are so, so, so much smaller than I am. I’m trying to spread body love and body positivity because the message can get lost when people are focusing on things like weight loss stories; that’s not what I’m about." Instead of focusing on extreme diet plans , Robyn concentrates on getting fit and healthy. "I think exercise is a really great combat to depression, sadness and generally not feeling good about yourself," she says. "Fitness is where you get your endorphins and how you’re going to make yourself feel empowered. I like kickboxing, swimming and SoulCycle, which is a crazy American trend of cycling in the dark to crazy music. I’m terrible at it. I enjoy yoga as well. "I get into the trends like everyone...

How to stop yourself from overeating

  Wondering why you constantly overeat? Here are three factors that may be contributing to over-indulging.    It’s easy to over-dramatise the odd extra helping as a ‘binge’ or ‘blowout’, but if you are consistently eating more than your body needs, there may be good reasons.  The stick: Macro shortfall The human body’s drive for protein is so powerful that it will keep consuming food until its protein needs are met according to a University of Sydney study. As protein intake decreases, kilojoule intake increases, researchers reported. The fix: Consume 15 to 20 per cent of daily kilojoules from high-quality, low-fat protein sources. Lean meats, legumes, fish, eggs and tofu all qualify. The stick: Multitasking Whether it’s the portion sizes at your local, a bout of intense work stress or mindless nibbling in front of the telly, there’s a whole gamut of reasons why we eat more than what we need or when we’re not hungry at all .  The fix: Try to eat intuitively...
