Make these healthy Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies! They are easy to make, only 6 ingredients and can be made vegan + gluten-free!

I’ve been on a cookie kick lately and I’m NOT mad about it. I love making cookies, but to be honest, I was not always great at baking cookies.

I remember plenty of times where I either forgot some ingredients (most likely becuase I wasn’t checking to make sure I added every ingredient aka blind pride haha), or I baked them too long and the bottoms got burnt.

But by the grace of God, I’ve been on a cookie roll and all the cookie recipes I’ve been making have been turning out great!

I love sweet and salty flavors together, so it was only a matter of time before I made these cookies.

Pretzels and peanut butter are a match made in heaven (mmmm pretzels dipped right in a jar of PB is to-die-for), and chocolate only adds positive vibes to the combo. We’ve made granola bars, chocolate bark, ice cream, and fudge with this famous combo, it was only a matter of time until we made cookies!

These cookies are way too easy to not make. You only need 6 ingredients to make them and I bet 90% of you have these ingredients in your house right now.

Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients:

pretzels

oatmeal

peanut butter

egg or flax egg

maple syrup

mini dark chocolate chips

Substitutes For These Easy Healthy Cookies

Peanut Butter: You many sub in any kind of smooth creamy nut butter for peanut butter, such as cashew butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter, etc.

Maple Syrup: You may sub in agave, honey or any other liquid sweetener.

Mini chocolate chips: You can sub in or add cocoa nibs, peanut butter chips or even chopped nuts.

Storing 6-Ingredient Cookies

You may store these cookies at room temperature for about a week, in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks, or in the freezer for a few months!

I LOVE the overflow of zucchini in the summer because it means I can use it to make more recipes…..yassssssss. Zucchini is definitely my favorite veggie to bake with! It adds moisture to baked goods which yields an amazing texture!

When I was younger, my mom always made zucchini bread and it was my fave. If I had to choose between regular zucchini bread and chocolate zucchini bread, chocolate ALWAYS wins.

I’m actually very surprised there isn’t a chocolate zucchini bread recipe on the blog yet, but I’m glad this recipe has come into fruition. This chocolate zucchini bread is made with pancake mix (shock) and only requires 8 ingredients! Or 7 if you do not like chocolate chips (said no one ever lol). Go ahead and make it………you’ll love it!

Healthy Pancake Mix Carrot Cake Banana Bread will be your new favorite quick bread! It’s studded with raisins, white chocolate chips and walnuts and only 9 ingredients! Vegan + GF options

Yassss I love me some pancake mix quick breads, don’t you? They make life a little bit easier when you want quick bread QUICK lol.

Instead of gathering 3-4 dry ingredients, you only need one, the pancake mix! But of course you need to gather the wet ingredients yourself, sorry!

This feature quick bread is a banana – carrot hybrid. Its got the sweetness of banana bread, plus some of the flavors of carrot cake. I’d say its a win-win recipe.

This bread is studded with golden raisins, walnuts and white chocolate chips. You could also easily add shredded coconut, I just didn’t have any on hand (womp). You could also add a cream cheese drizzle if you’d like!
