Desperate times call for desperate measures. I don't usually snack on sweet treats at all, but then I am usually at work, distracted and busy. Being home with kids who are requesting food every 90 minutes means that I have had to create snacks that are quick to prepare, easy to make, and healthy for our bodies. This recipe takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish, so it's worth a try!
Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons of real butter
* between 2 tablespoons - 1/4 cup erythritol, depending on your taste
* 2/3 cup natural peanut butter
* 1 cup desiccated coconut
* 1 tablespoon cocoa (optional)
Method
1. Melt butter and erythritol in the microwave in 30 second increments.
2. When the butter is completely melted, mix the peanut butter into it until smooth and glossy.
3. All the coconut to the wet mix and combine fully. At this point you can also add the cocoa if you are using it.
4. Scoop out teaspoon-sized cookie balls onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Depending on the shape you want, you can leave the cookies in balls, or flatten them more.
5. Place the baking tray with the cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes.
NB!
These cookies must be stored in the fridge or they will melt and misshape.
If you find that your cookies are a little too big / thick, you can cut them in half to serve.
If you don't like the oily consistency, you can roll your cookies in more coconut before serving.
