One of our favorite influencers, Amanda @plant__creations developed this beautiful Peanut Butter Cookie recipe for us and with a delicious kiss of maple syrup and coconut sugar! Youāre going to want to save this recipe.
And, be sure to follow Amanda for other amazing plant-based recipes and tips!
INGREDIENTS:
1+1/2 cups oat flour (made using ZEGOās gluten-free Double Protein Oats)
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or sub for sunflower seed butter)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
2 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup chocolate chunks
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper. Make your oat flour by adding the oats to a blender and blend on high until a fine flour forms.
In a large bowl, add in the oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
In a small bowl, add in the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, water, and vanilla. Combine well until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients in the bowl with the dry ingredients and combine until the cookie dough comes together. Fold in your chocolate chunks.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the cookies and place on the baking sheet. Flatten each one a little as they will not spread out much in the oven. Bake at 350 for about 13 minutes. Let cool and enjoy! Keep stored in an airtight container at room temp or in the fridge for longer.

FIBER - most people only get 50% of the recommended daily value of fiber. ZEGO's Purity Protocol Gluten Free Oats have 20%-40% more fiber than typical oats.
Fiber's not only important for removing waste from your body so you don't become a toxic mess.
It also contains Beta Glucans which improve gut and heart health, strengthen the immune system, and reduce symptoms of skin diseases
One of many reasons to eat ZEGO's Double Protein Oats! Stay tuned for more nutrition info on this amazing specialty product.
Double Energy Oats!
šŖšŖ20g protein + 6g fiber + 25% Daily Value for iron šŖšŖ
And did we mention DELICIOUSLY flavored with molasses, vanilla, and cinnamon?
Did you know that protein, fiber, and iron are key to maintaining your energy level?
- Protein helps the body stay satiated after a meal
- Protein and Fiber help keep blood sugar balanced (which keeps your energy balanced)
- Iron helps carry oxygen to your muscles and your brain
- Fiber is high in beta-glucans which are beneficial to gut health...a healthy gut absorbs more nutrients...more nutrient absorption means more energy!
This recipe has 20g protein, 6g fiber, and 25% DV of iron. šŖšŖ Best of all, itās made with all REAL FOOD ingredients.
INGREDIENTS:
2/3 cup Double Protein Oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1-1/3 cup boiling water
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 rounded teaspoon blackstrap molasses
2 egg whites (you can sub 1 whole egg), whisked together
METHOD:
- Boil water.
- Stir oats, cinnamon, sea salt, and vanilla extract into boiling water.
- Simmer for 10 minutes (cook oats until they are on the dry side).
Turn off the heat.
- Stir in the molasses. (Tip: use the same spoon you measure the molasses with to stir into the oats.)
- Whisk the egg whites into the oats slowly. (Tip: Wedge the handle of the pot between your elbow and body to keep it from spinning when you are whisking the egg whites in.)
- Oats should be creamy and delicious.
Enjoy with your favorite fruit. Store for up to a week in the fridge or bake extra oatmeal into muffinsāfold in your favorite frozen fruit or a banana for extra flavor and nutrition!
Do you buy sprouted products? Make sure you are getting what you are paying for. Ask the company to send you a picture of the sprouted grain.
You see, some companies are just soaking their grains, not actually sprouting them. Sprouting takes longer and is much more involved (you need to change the water a few times, for example).
I called one such company, and they told me their sprouting process is done by a 3rd party and that 3rd party wonāt share with them any information about it. Hmmmm . . .
On Jan. 1 sesame was named by the FDA as the 9th major allergen, which means it must be labeled in plain language on packaged food.
Sensitivity to sesame can range from mild symptoms like hives or severe symptoms like anaphylaxis.
If you are allergic to sesame, be sure to watch for non-food items! "Sesamum indicum" is frequently found on labels for cosmetics, medications, nutrition supplements, perfumes, essential oils, and even pet foods.
And, of course, know that all ZEGO products are free of sesame and produced in a sesame-free facility.
Let us know if you have any questions!
Fiber is important for gut health which is important for overall wellness and a strong immune system. Our Purity Protocol Double Protein Gluten Free Oats have about 20-40% more fiber and nearly double the protein than your typical grocery store oats.
Why? Heat treating destroys nutrients but we cold press our Double Protein Oats. This preserves their nutrition so you get more fiber and protein.
According to the FDA, you should get 28g of fiber daily. A single serving of our oats has 6g, giving you 20% of your daily need. Add some raspberries and boost your fiber intake to 30% of the RDA! šŖšŖšŖ
It warms our hearts to know that every day people enjoy our purity-verified breakfast and snack products. We feel like we are all sharing a virtual meal of goodness together, supporting our health and the health of our planet.
Thank you for communing with us!

ZEGO helps protect you from heavy metals, pesticides, and common allergens through our rigorous testing standards and commitment to transparency.
Why do we test? Organic oats, for example, can have glyphosate and cadmium contamination that is unknown to the farmer due to pesticide application drift or historic heavy metal contamination. So we test for both to make sure our products don't show any glyphosate residue and only natural levels of heavy metals (if any at all).
But thatās not all. We also use the highest quality oat seeds. So you not only get the safest food but also superior nutrition ā almost double the protein and about 30% more fiber and more iron than typical brands.
This one is all about plant protein! We know itās a hot topic especially in the š±plantš± based community. Many of you are wondering āhow do I get the right amount of protein from a plant based diet?ā
Our Founder Colleen has some insight for you! Watch the full episode (#161) of the Heal Thyself Podcast with Dr. G šļø
