Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies
Who doesn’t love delicious cookies that melt in the mouth! Cookies go great with coffee anyway, so let’s get into how to make a tasty cookie:
- Take a bowl and add oat flour (to make it healthy), baking powder, and soda. Whisk them and add a pinch of salt.
- Add eggs, peanut butter, vanilla and beat vigorously until everything is combined well.
- Now add the flour mixture to the prepared egg mixture and mix them well. Keep mixing the dough, and then add a few peanuts. Now the dough should be thick and mushy. Let the dough sit for 1 hour in the fridge, and then take it out at least 30 mins before you start making the cookies.
- Preheat the oven at 300 degrees and line a baking tray with butter paper. Roll the cookie dough into a ball and then press it slightly to make a cookie shape.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes and then take the cookies out and allow them to cool down.
- Take them off from the baking sheet and then serve them!Â
Delicious, healthy, and mouth-watering cookies are ready! Making a cookie can be a bit of a task, but it will be worth it. If you’re short on time, you can try open secret cookies that are very healthy and tasty too! It’s the perfect snack for tea time and as well as for midday munching.
Crunchy Roasted Veggies
Vegetables can be interesting if you prepare them differently! Who thought veggies could be great snacks too. The best part is that they are packed with nutrition and also have great taste. To prepare:
- Marinate all your favorite veggies in a bowl.
- To marinate, add salt, pepper, mixed herb seasoning, and chili flakes to the veggies. (Take more greens like broccoli, barns, and bell peppers so that it’s healthier and tastier).
- Now put them into an oven and roast the veggies till they are cooked, crunchy and smoky!
The healthiest coffee/tea time snack is ready for you. The best part is that you can feed your kids this version of green veggies that they don’t usually like to have. If you’re someone who likes munching on toasty snacks with high calories, switch to this healthy version and see the difference!

These are not just perfect tea or coffee time snacks but also ideal to have whenever a craving or a hunger pang hits you!
