Ever heard of peanut flour? The flour alternative, made from crushed peanuts, keeps this healthy cookie dough recipe low-carb, while giving it a nutty flavor. The recipe calls for liquid sweetener, but if you prefer an all-natural option, maple syrup is a good substitute.

All things coconut—seriously, the recipe calls for shredded coconut, coconut milk, coconut oil, and coconut flour—give this cookie dough its flavor. The dough can be eaten straight from the jar, or rolled into small balls and placed in the fridge for future snacking.

This alternative to classic cookie dough is actually a fairly filling snack, thanks to chickpeas, quick oats, and almond butter. The texture and taste will be better if using a food processor, but a blender would also do the trick if necessary.
