These are high in protein, relatively low in calories, and made with wholesome ingredients. For a healthy dessert cookie, drizzle with melted chocolate chips. Ingredients:
1/2 cup roasted soybeans (or soy nuts) |
1 cup brown crisp rice cereal or 1 cup rice krispies |
1 cup textured vegetable protein |
1 pinch salt (but brings out flavor) (optional) |
1/3 cup peanut butter |
1/3 cup brown rice syrup |
2 tablespoons sugar or 2 tablespoons evaporated cane juice sugar (bulk bin) or 2 tablespoons date sugar |
Directions:
1. Line an 8 inch square pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
2. Place soybeans in a food processor and pulse to chop. Alternatively, you may leave them whole or crush them slightly in a bag.
3. Combine soy beans, brown rice crisp cereal and TVP. Toss with salt.
4. In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, brown rice syrup and evaporated cane juice (or sugar). Heat on high in microwave for 1 minute, stopping to stir halfway through.
5. Dump crunchy soy mixture into peanut butter mixture and stir until well coated. Press mixture tightly into pan.
6. Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
