A recipe and video for Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies made with just 3 simple ingredients and in only 1 bowl! These cookies are ready to eat in under 20 minutes. Healthy snacking doesn’t get easier than this!
I have an idea for a new episode of MTV’s True Life series. True Life: I’m addicted to peanut butter. Starring Davida from The Healthy Maven and Lee from Fit Foodie Finds.
I have no doubts that our very real problem with peanut butter could cover an entire hours worth of reality TV binging. In fact, I’m somewhat surprised they’ve yet to come calling. I’ve only tweeted at them 15 times…
But actually, Lee and I take peanut butter consumption to the next level. We CRUSHED 3 containers of bulk barn organic peanut butter in 5 days. I’ve never been more grateful that the cashier at bulk barn assumes I buy the cheap, regular, sugar-filled PB rather than the more expensive, natural, organic variety that I actually buy. I’m aware it makes me a bad person for never correcting her…I blame the peanut butter.
Admittedly, some of it was used in the THREE batches of peanut butter cookies we made while Lee was visiting last week, but when Lee comes to town I always know to stock up.
And of course because the Fit Foodie was around, I insisted that she make an appearance in my latest YouTube video. Some might say I forced her into it through peanut butter bribery. Those people would be correct.
Did I mention peanut butter?
So as the powerhouse trifecta that is Healthnut Foodie Maven, we combined forces for the greatest cookies to hit YouTube since chocolate chip stuffed oreos. But more like the dumbed down, healthy version of those.
Watch the video –> stock up on peanut butter –>make these cookies –>attempt self-control.
Feel free to attempt in the order of your pleasing. In the meantime, you’ll find me filming for the latest episode of True Life.

Aw thank you girly! So sad we just missed you in T.O.!

Davida, can you tell me what is the font you used in the photo to write “Healthy”? Thank you!
So easy there is no excuse not to make them!! The font is Angelina!
CUTIES. Love the vid- and these, obv! XOXO see ya FRIIIIDAAAAY.
SO SOON YAY!!!!
What exact peanut butter did you use? The kind that needs refrigeration or the smooth? Thank you!
I use smooth, natural peanut butter (no preservatives, sugar or salt-added). Technically if you’re keeping it for a long time you need to store it in the fridge, but since mine rarely lasts more than a week I never do! It should be smooth and liquidy when you make the recipe though!
OH YUM!!!! These sound amazing!!!! I think I might make them with sunflower seed butter since I can’t get enough of it these days!
I totally need to try that! Love me some sunbutter!
If the bulk bin cashier judges our pb consumption, she’s just jealous because she can’t hang!
We should ask her to join us in the next video!
