Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I was so excited when Otto’s Naturals sent me a bag of their Cassava Flour. I have been wanting to bake with Cassava Flour for awhile now. This was my first time ever baking with it and I have to say it truly is a winner in my book. These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk cookies turned out so moist, chewy, and soft. No grittiness or weird textures.

Cassava Flour is a grain free flour that comes from the Yuca root vegetable. Cassava is not only grain free and gluten free, but its nut free, vegan, vegetarian, and paleo as well. It makes it a great choice for those on selective diets. One thing to keep in mind is that although it’s grain free, it does not mean it’s low carb. It actually contains a pretty high carbohydrate profile, given the fact that it comes from a starchy tuber.

Otto’s Cassava flour can be used as a one to one substitute by weight for wheat flour in many recipes because of its mild flavor and light texture. You can expect it to have no additives, xantham gum, or fillers, how exciting is that?!

Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust

Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust

I’m always in the kitchen baking, I mean I literally feel like I live in there. I usually bake with gluten free flours, but from time to time I like to mix it up and bake grain free. When I do its very important to me that I don’t sacrifice on flavor and texture. Grain Free can be a little more tricky to work with. I especially loved this Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust recipe, it was almost too easy to work with. I felt like a cheater haha! If you tend to lean more on the grain free side of the world then you definitely need to check out these Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter Cookies . These delicious bites are flourless, giving them an extra added bonus… Woohoo!

Cheesecake is one of my husbands favorite desserts! Anytime I say the word ” cheesecake  ” he will bend over backwards for me just to get me to make it for him! Needless to say he was drooling at the mouth over these delicious cheesecake bites. The cashew crust gives it this really nice creamy – buttery flavor. I love using cashews when I bake, they are lower in fat compared to other nuts and are rich in protein and magnesium. Another delicious recipe to try with cashews are these Dark Chocolate Dipped Cashew Cookies. 

 

Here are a few thoughts and tips :

  • Make sure when you cream your wet ingredients you stay PATIENT. It takes a few minutes for the ingredients to combine and smooth out.
  • Keep an eye on your cheesecake bites , oven temperatures vary.
  • If you go with the dairy free option, keep in mind the taste and texture are NOT real cream cheese so it may slightly differ… This is why I suggest Wayfare Cream Cheese , the flavor and texture is the closest I have found to real cream cheese. ( This is my personal opinion )

Black and White Sugar Cookies

For I know the plans I have you declares the Lord , plans to prosper you not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

With the New Year fast approaching and resolutions being developed and refined, I sit here meditating and fostering my own intentions and goals. As I do I  quickly realize I have only one that really makes a difference in every aspect of my life, and that is to chase God like never before!! I want every step I take to begin and end with him. When we walk in step with God, completely surrendered and guided by him, nothing can shake us. We are solid and secure with our feet planted… standing on a firm foundation! Not only that, but when we chase God and not what we want … an abundance of blessings and favor will be poured out into our lives that there will not be enough room to store it!! So here’s to the New Year … Old things have passed away, Behold the new has come!! ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

Chase God, and discover rest and favor inconceivable!!!  🌟🙏🏻

1 Peter 5:10

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Nothing that happens in our life is wasted. God works all things together for good. He uses those setbacks, frustrations, and difficulties to glorify His name and display His work in our lives.  I never really understood what good God could bring forth from all the health struggles I endured over the years. Looking back the evidence is so clear. He was refining, perfecting, and preparing me to go all the way with him. This purifying process was equipping me for greater things to come… skimming off all impurities and building in me mighty muscles of faith! We’ve been called according to his purpose and we have a destiny to fulfill. No matter what life throws our way, we can take confidence and assurance in the fact that God has a master plan and he will use it for the good… It’s without question! God is all powerful, will you trust him enough to hand the reigns over to him?

 

🌟 We are the Clay and he is our Potter, molding and perfecting us  🌟
