chocolate chocolate chip cookies on a plate

I have been working like crazy. My last day of my corporate job is Friday and I officially started training at Burn Boot Camp here in Charlotte last Friday. I have to say, I leave boot camp everyday with a smile on my face. When work doesn’t feel like work is when life is good. I can’t wait to start this new chapter of my life. So we are celebrating with chocolate chocolate chip cookies of course!

Many of my clients will openly admit that they have a weakness for sweets. And many of them are also guilty of (mindlessly) eating a boatload of empty calories late at night. Although I’m far from perfect, I find that having healthy desserts in the fridge will keep me mindlessly eating 2 handfuls of chocolate chip cookies while trying to decide what I want to snack on.

I try to sit down and enjoy my cookie eating experience, since I’m usually slathering my cookies in peanut butter and teasing Dave about how good they are! But those handfuls of chocolate chips, I barely even taste them because I’m usually mindlessly eating them chocolate on my face and all. Those are the kind of changes I’ve been slowly making in my life and the result is me being less obsessed about food!

My first ever “healthy” cookie recipe was a version of Ina Garten’s triple chocolate cookies, with chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and of course a chocolate cookie. They were amazing, and seriously addicting, and anytime I make a similar cookie recipe I reminisce about those early days. That version of triple chocolate cookies were made with whole wheat flour, splenda for baking and applesauce.

Needless to say my diet and nutrition goals have changed a bit since then. I love adding protein powder and coconut flour to my cookies now instead of whole wheat flour. Not only does this make the cookies a bit more filling, it also makes them gluten free, so Dave can enjoy them as well! As for splenda, man did I consume a ton of that back in the day.

Now I use Stevia. I wish I could say I didn’t crave sweet things, but honestly, I love sweets! Stevia is derived from a plant and through my research I’ve found that if you can stay away from the huge brands, it’s still a decent product. Be wary of the stevia for baking, the filler they use to make it “cup for cup like sugar” is not that great for you! Stick to organic stevia if you can, I like the individual packet or the liquid.

This recipe is sweetened by the protein powder and the bananas. I use a vegan protein powder when baking! You can try Sunwarrior, About Time Vegan (chocolate) or Vega clean or Vega performance in this recipe – I love all of these brands and use them regularly!

    My son likes to “make stuff” (he’s 3), and immediately gets the sugar and flour out of the cupboard….so I’m always looking for some alternative, healthier recipes.

    Thanks for sharing on Monday Funday!

    My healthy dessert is banana ice cream :) it’s so quick and creamy, with the added milk and PB. I haven’t made an Ina recipe in SO long. I think the last recipe I made from her was a roast chicken.

    Obviously I need this. How quickly can you get to my house? I think the majority of y creations start with the “less” healthy version and then I just bastardize them until they work for me. Or they are just creations of my wicked twisted brain. Either way, they work for me.

    These cookies wouldn’t last long in our house. I have been meaning to use protein powder in my baking, but I haven’t got round to it yet. This looks like a good place to start.
