Peanut butter cookie cakes? Yes, that’s correct! They have more of a cake texture, but they are in the shape of a cookie. And they’re only 2 points each!
(This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more info.)
One thing that makes these cookie cakes low in points is using PB2 Powder instead of regular peanut butter. It saves a lot of points!
I have a lot of recipes on my site that use PB2 powder. My favorite is Frozen Peanut Butter Cups. I make them almost every week!
PB2 Pancakes are another popular recipe on my site. Strawberry Banana Crepes are also made using PB2 powder.
It can also be made in savory recipes. Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce uses PB2 powder and it’s also great for meal prep.
Whenever I post a recipe with PB2 powder I get a lot of questions asking what it is and where to buy it.
You can buy it HERE on Amazon, or you can usually find it at the grocery store by the peanut butter.
PB2 powder squeezes out most of the natural oils from roasted peanuts, then it’s turned into a fine powder. It has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter.
As far as making these peanut butter cookie cakes it’s quite easy. Simply add all of the ingredients (minus the chocolate chips) in a bowl and stir together.
Then add the chocolate chips and combine.
These cookies will hold their shape once you put them on the cookie sheet, so I wouldn’t suggest dropping them in the shape of a ball. You will want to flatten them out.
They will puff up once they are baked, creating the cake texture.
