Bariatric Recipe


This recipe is a bariatric-friendly take on a classic treat. Each cookie is packed with protein from the peanut butter and protein powder, helping to support your body's healing and maintenance needs after surgery. The small amount of honey and dark chocolate chips add a touch of indulgence without going overboard on sweetness.


The cookies are soft and easy to chew, making them suitable for a post-bariatric surgery diet. They're also simple to prepare and bake, so you can have a batch ready in no time. Enjoy these cookies as a high-protein snack or a dessert that can be eaten during the Soft Food Phase of your Bariatric diet.


Remember, portion control is key in a bariatric diet. One cookie provides a satisfying serving, packed with flavor and nutrients but without excess calories or sugar.

Homemade Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
  • 1/8 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (choose a type that suits your dietary needs and flavor preferences)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the reduced-fat peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the protein powder and baking soda.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well. The mixture might be quite thick, depending on the type of protein powder used.

  5. If the dough is too dry, add unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is a workable consistency.

  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  7. Form the dough into 12 balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with the back of a spoon.

  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make the cookies dry.

  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
