Peanut Butter Hemp Cookies

Hi friends!

These Peanut Butter Hemp Cookies have been a staple in my weekly food prep the past few weeks. They are SO easy to whip up…just one bowl,  one measuring cup and a spoon! And they’re delicious. I shared the recipe over on Instagram last week and so many of you have already made them!

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been loving hemp seeds lately! They pack such a powerful nutrient punch and they’re so easy to mix into just about everything as an easy way to add things like iron, magnesium, omegas and protein.

I’ve also made them with almond butter and they came out great AND tried them with maple syrup…which changes the texture a bit but they’re still good. These are basically like those peanut butter cookies made with just peanut butter, sugar and eggs….except I upped the protein, reduced the sugar and added some fiber with the oats. I call that a win.

As far as hemp seeds go, they’re also called hemp hearts and Manitoba Harvest is my favorite. I buy them in a giant bag at Costco because we go through them so fast but you can find them in most grocery stores (check the bulk bins if you have them) or grab them online from Amazon. (aff link)

Watch my 4 year old make them!

Here’s the recipe!

    Thoughts on if I could sub almond flour (or some other flour) for the oats? Or maybe pulse the oats into flour first? My 3 year old is not a fan of the oats texture, but these sound so delicious and healthy!

      i think you could probably pulse the oats first!

    Made with hemp flour instead of seeds cos that’s what I had. Came out really good. Added some sunflower seeds for some crunch.
    Thanks a million for the recipe.
    Will look out for more in your website.
    Love,

    Perfect power cookie! I have a sweet tooth so I use the extra sugar. I make these for anyone going through a tough time that needs a healthy boost on the fly. We just freeze and pull out a cookie when needed. Even my 2yo loves them!

    I make so many of your recipes and this one is my absolute fav. I make them with maple syrup and always do a double batch for freezer extras. My 2 year old has been making them with me for over half a year and also devours them. Thanks as always for your amazing recipes, useful tips and real life kid talk.
