These are a healthier take on the Viral Dubai Chocolate bars! Those Dubai chocolate bars are not gluten free so I felt like I was missing out, so I decided to make a delicious pistachio chocolate cookie that had no added sugar but was still delicious. The pea protein powder worked well to give it an extra green colour and some extra protein - 7.5g of Protein per cookie 💪
Ingredients
-
50g Pistachios (unsalted)
-
100g Medjool Dates (pitted)
-
60g Peanut Butter (100% peanut smooth)
-
25g Pea Protein Powder (any mild tasting protein powder would work or you can leave it out)
-
¼ tsp Salt (if the pistachio nuts are unsalted)
-
100g Dark Chocolate (for topping)
Directions
Take the pits out of the dates and add to a bowl with some boiling water for a few minutes (this will soften them)
Chop up the pistachio nuts, or add them to a food processor. (If you can buy pistachios de shelled already that is ideal or else add on about 10 minutes extra to take the shells off)
Drain the dates and add to food processor along with the rest of the ingredients and mix until it resembles a dough ball. If you don’t have a food processor you can all the ingredients to a bowl and mix with a fork or your hands.
Cut into about 8 cookies, use a shape cutter or make them into cookies with your hands. I used a heart cutter as it happens to be Valentines Day ❤️
Melt the chocolate and dip the cookies in and cover them with a thin layer of chocolate.
Pop in the fridge for an hour or more and then enjoy!
