Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, GF

April 22, 2016 By travellingoven 2 Comments

I two very healthy breakfast recipes for you this week and today is Friday so that means it’s time for cookies! 😀 If you like peanut butter than you’ll like these peanut butter chocolate cookies, they are seriously good!

Peanut butter is actually not something that I eat very often, not as nearly as almond butter or cashew butter for example, those two are my favorite nut butters but if I do eat peanut butter, then it’s mostly in cookies or some kind of dessert. UPDATED: this has changed over the last few years and now peanut butter IS my favourite nut butter LOL! 😀 Having said that, I still eat it in cookies and desserts but also by spoon or with different jams combinations for breakfast.

More about peanut butter… and cookies

I believe that in some countries like United States or UK most people love peanut butter and peanut butter & jelly or jam sandwich is kind of a must in most of the households. But in most of Europe including my own country Croatia, it’s not something that people actually eat that often. It’s interesting to think how some food that is so common in one country, doesn’t get as nearly as much appreciation in another. Anyway, if you happen to like peanut butter or you normally don’t eat it but want to try something a bit different, make these cookies, they literally melt in your mouth.

And than there is that beautiful dark chocolate that makes everything even better. 😀 Great thing about these cookies (besides that they are so yummy!) is that there is absolutely no flour in them so they are naturally gluten-free and great for those who try to avoid gluten in their diet. When I was testing this recipe, I had way too many cookies at home so I brought some to a friend when I visited her and was so happy that she loved them so much!

Honestly, those little things make me so happy! 🙂

This is how they look like before baking…

And this after the baking…

They are soft, chewy from the inside, full of peanut butter and chocolate flavour, heaven if I may say so myself!

Otherwise, I don’t have that much to write about as the life I must admit hasn’t been all that interesting lately and it had its challenges. Mainly it’s been work and hoping for better times to come, hopefully they will soon… What about you? How is your Spring been so far (or Autumn if you are on the other side of the world!)? I do share a bit more about my life and some other food and not-food related stuff on my social media so I hope you’ll follow me on my Facebook page, my instagram account, my Pinterest where I pin a lot of beautiful food photography and great recipes.
Being on social media is such an important part of this job but it does take a lot of time and can also make you procrastinate and spend too much time following all the people whose work you love so it’s all about balance. But I’m still learning that and have to be better at organizing my time and prioritize… And now, let’s treat ourselves and have some cookies!

Recipe type: Cookies, GF
Serves: 15-16 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 jar peanut butter (350 g / 0.77 lb)
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • Note: 1 cup = 250ml
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine peanut butter and sugar using an electric mixer.
  3. Add egg, baking soda, vanilla and salt and mix until it's all combined.
  4. Stir in chopped chocolate.
  5. Using 1 tbsp of batter per cookie, make little balls and place them on prepared baking tray leaving enough space between as the cookies will spread when baking.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
  7. Note: Don't leave them in the oven longer than 10 min, they will look very soft and under-done but they will harden as they cool down.

There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, like refreshing mornings swims, ice creams and cold watermelon, days spent reading books, time with my family and so on.. But after a while my heart starts longing for cool winds and rainy days, morning mists, storms, dark clouds and finding beauty in the shadows… That’s where I find my inspiration and when I feel the most like myself. 🌿

It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at th It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at the moment and that’s quite unusually hot even in August. So I just want to eat light food (fresh figs! cold watermelon! juicy tomatoes!), drink lots of water and hide from the heat imagining all my favourite things I will enjoy this autumn. Tomorrow we should be back to ‘normal’ summer weather… Stay tuned! 😅

I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who li I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who lives behind those doors and what are their stories.. In life, love and between. It has to do less with curiosity and more with entering the world of imagination. Possibly escaping the realities of life too. Anyway, to keep it more light and simple on this summer afternoon, here’s a photo of pretty doors! 😄

These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mo These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mostly the heat that doesn’t agree with my body, me and summer heat are certainly not on good terms. Also, there’s a lot on my mind. And heart. 
I would love to feel the lightness of summer, you know the one where you feel that the summer breeze coming from the sea in the evenings melts all your life challenges and blues away and you feel ligtness in your heart and body. A sparkle. Excitement. Flow. But sometimes that doesn’t come easy. So I need to make an effort and try a bit harder. And that’s ok. Some summers are lighter than others just as some winters are darker. All that is our beautiful life…❤️

In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to simple scenes, even minimalistic, capturing beauty of something ‘ordinary’ that could easily be overlooked… 
I admire work of many photographers who create beauty with busy, more complex scenes but when I decided to follow my heart and what feels right to me, that’s when I started enjoying photography the most. ❤️

My editing style has changed a lot in the last few My editing style has changed a lot in the last few years so sometimes I like to re-edit older photos and compare with the original edit. Most of the times I’m like ‘what was I thinking?!’…😅 But I actually like to see the difference and I’m enjoying the process of changing, evolving, seeing things differently.. So here’s a new edit of this lovely scene and cake made by @evakosmasflores, hope you like it. It makes me feel like late summer afternoon…🧡
