Single Serving Stovetop Chocolate Chip Cookie is a pancake-cookie hybrid that will become your best friend...for better or for worse! On @heathersdish #cookie #cookingforone #dessertmadeeasy

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS!!! I feel like I should apologize in advance for the imminent increase in pants size should you choose to embark on the making of this single serving stovetop chocolate chip cookie. Speaking from experience on this one, y’all, and it’s no exaggeration.

 

I love a good baked chocolate chip cookie – heck, that’s what we had for the groom’s cake at our wedding! The warm, straight-from-the-oven kind is truly the best, where the chocolate melts all over your fingers but not where it falls apart. You dig?

 

If you haven’t already gathered, I have a hard time with self control where sweet treats are concerned. If I can’t find a way to pass the goods off to others then it’s not likely that I’ll make something for dessert because I just can’t stop!

So here’s what I do when Nate goes out of town – I make desserts for myself every night. I always try to make sure it’s a single-serving one (as of late I adore this apple crisp and this oven-baked cookie) – you know, to save myself from having to buy a new and bigger wardrobe. But it’s dessert all the same, and sometimes I like to branch out.

 

Here’s the deal with single-serving cookies though: eggs are hard to figure out. I love the chocolate chip cookie I mentioned above because it doesn’t require an egg, but so many of the single-serving cookies I’ve found online tell you to get and egg, beat it, and then measure out a tablespoon of the beaten egg. I realize how lazy this sounds, but honestly? I’d rather not even make a cookie if I have to do that.

I know. I know.

 

But it’s where I stand, and so I knew that if I was going to try my hand at a single-serving dessert it would have to be egg-free. Ground flaxseed to the rescue though! If you didn’t already know, a great way to make a vegan “egg” is to whisk together a tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water, then let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.

 

I applied this thinking to this cookie and y’all? IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM.

Another note on this cookie is that it calls for raw sugar rather than granulated sugar. I like the crunch and texture that the raw sugar provides, but granulated would work fine too – you just might not get that crazy crunchy texture that otherwise comes from the raw version. Do your thing – I’m not the boss – but just know that the recipe was made to use raw sugar to achieve optimum texture.

 

Now y’all, I won’t lie and say things like, “Oh, yeah, this is just like a normal cookie blah blah blah…” because it’s really a hybrid cookie-pancake thing. The cooking method is pancake-esque, but the flavor is all cookie, and the texture is smack dab in the middle. In the directions you’ll see that you need to let the cookie sit for about 5 minutes to really develop a great texture – crunchy/crispy on the outside and creamy/chocolatey on the inside. It’s not exactly like an oven-baked cookie, but it’s so good you won’t even care.

 

Give my condolences to your waistband…Lord knows mine needs it 🙂

SINGLE SERVING STOVETOP CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE

Serves 1

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt (∼1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
  • nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

  1. The most important thing here is to make sure your skillet/griddle is preheated – so before you do anything go ahead and turn it on to medium-low heat. When the skillet is ready water drops will bounce/sizzle (if you need an example watch this video around the 15 second mark).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, sugars, milk, flaxseed, vanilla extract and baking powder.
  3. Allow to sit for about 3-4 minutes to thicken, then fold in the flour until just combined.
  4. Add the chocolate chips and stir until everything is combined.
  5. Test the skillet/griddle to make sure it’s hot enough, then lightly spray with nonstick spray and pour/spread the batter onto the pan.
  6. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side.
  7. To flip, spray a thin spatula with nonstick spray and then, working quickly, slide the spatula under the cookie and flip. You want to work quickly here to avoid tearing the cookie (although it will still taste amazing even if it’s not perfect).
  8. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side.
  9. Remove immediately from the heat to a small plate.
  10. Sprinkle with additional toppings (nuts, syrup, etc) if desired.
  11. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes. This allows the cookie get crisp on the outside like an oven-baked one would be.
  12. Enjoy!

A few more great things you can make for one:

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG
❤️ I AM CAPABLE
❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!
And sometimes this is what it means to “work fro And sometimes this is what it means to “work from home.” 😂
Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
.
Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
My allergies may be making me want to scratch my e My allergies may be making me want to scratch my eyes out of my head, but at least I’m having dessert! 😆😭 Fun fact: I never had allergies til we moved to Arkansas. Discovering this discomfort as an adult is...special?
.
This little parfait is a mini jar filled with plain Greek yogurt and homemade strawberry chia jam 🍓. No sugar added and tastes like a cheesecake - I’ll take it! Jam recipe is in my “food” highlight - just sub any frozen fruit in the same amounts and voila!
