My Fruitive Challenge: Day 131 — WFPB Peanut Butter Cookies

-

 Well, today I had a craving for peanut butter cookies because of a church picnic. I wasn’t tempted to eat any, but it occurred to me tonight that I could bake some that I could eat. Here’s ChatGPT’s recipe for WFPB Peanut Butter cookies that even my daughter and wife appreciated:

To bake the WFPB peanut butter cookies in an air fryer, follow these adjusted instructions:

### WFPB Peanut Butter Cookies (Air Fryer Method)

#### Ingredients:

- **1 cup natural peanut butter** (no added oil, sugar, or salt)

- **1/2 cup maple syrup** (or date syrup)

- **1/2 cup oat flour** 

- **1 tsp vanilla extract**

- **1/2 tsp baking soda**

- **1/4 tsp salt** (optional)

- **1-2 tbsp plant-based milk** (optional, to adjust consistency)

#### Instructions:

1. **Preheat the air fryer** to 325°F (160°C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper (you can cut the paper to fit the basket).

2. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Add the oat flour, baking soda, and salt (if using). Mix until you have a dough-like consistency. If the dough is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk.

4. Scoop small balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and flatten them slightly with a fork to create the crisscross pattern.

5. Place the cookies on the parchment paper in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each cookie.

6. **Air fry** for about 6-8 minutes, checking after 6 minutes to ensure they don’t overbake. The cookies should be lightly golden on the edges.

7. Let the cookies cool in the air fryer basket for a few minutes, as they will firm up as they cool. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Air fryers tend to bake faster than ovens, so keep a close eye on the cookies during cooking. Enjoy your air-fried, WFPB peanut butter cookies!

My Fruitive Challenge Diet: Day One!

I’m excited to begin my Fruitive Challenge today! It’s a big leap of faith because I had never imagined myself committing to a 100% Whole Foods Plant Based diet! But here I am doing it. I thank my brother Gregg for recruiting and motivating me to give it a try. He’s been eating this way for several years now and he looks much healthier than I do. Here he is advertising his restaurant, Fruitive , on Instagram. Here’s the catch though, for the first two months of the diet, I’m also committed to eating SOS free diet, which means no added salt, oils, or sugar in the food I consume. I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
