I loooove peanut butter. And cookies. And healthy desserts! So this recipe is a triple threat in my book! ?
If you've read my weight loss story or seen my Transformation Tuesday Instagram posts, then you already know that I've lost a lot of weight over the years. I was obese in my adolescence, and I was stuck in the vicious cycle of dieting on some restrictive diet that I hated, binging, being mad at myself for binging, binging even more, and the famous "starting my diet again on Monday."
That is no way to live life.
The way that I finally broke free from the cycle was stopping it in the first step - never starting that restrictive diet that I hated!!! Instead, I changed my "diet" to something sustainable. One that I actually ENJOYED. I just made sure to stay in my calorie budget - meaning I was eating less than I was burning off (I used the app MyFitnessPal as a guide), and within that calorie budget I could eat whatever I wanted. How freeing is that?
Anyway, another thing about me is I've always loved big portions. One measly brownie is never going to work for me. I want a few to feel satisfied. Same with one cookie - if you are someone who can just eat one cookie and feel satisfied, I commend you ?.
That's just not me!!! It never will be. And I'm ok with that.
That's why I spend so much time creating low calorie HEALTHY treats that I can eat A LOT of and still stay in my calorie budget (I'm now in maintenance - but still tracking!), and I NEVER feel restricted.
I've always loved sweets, so figuring out how to make sweets lower in calories and healthier for me so that I could fit them into my life without ever feeling guilty has been life-changing!
Recipes like this one are so perfect for those of us who want to lose weight (or maintain) and not feel the restriction of portion size.

This post was sponsored by Oriya Organics, and these scrumptious Keto Vegan Peanut Butter Protein Cookies are made with their Gather Paleo Protein Powder.
I love this protein powder because it's made from REAL food ingredients - pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cranberry seeds, and goji - that's IT.
It's one of my favorites to use in baking! It has a mild flavor but is totally packed with nutrition goodness.

This looks so good! What else can I use whole psyllium husks for?
Hi Suzanne! Psyllium husks mixed with water makes a fabulous egg replacer in recipes!
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
Haha well... I eat them pretty fast so I don't totally know!! I think they would last at least 5 days in the fridge!
