This pizookie recipe takes 30 minutes from start to finish, plus uses paleo-friendly swaps to avoid conventional flour and sugar. White flour gets swapped for coconut flour and tapioca flour so this skillet cookie could contain minimal nuts. Raw honey, melty dark chocolate chips, and stevia add sweetness. Finally, this pizookie gets added benefits from collagen peptides, Brain Octane oil and sprouted almond butter.

This fudgy pizookie is so easy to make, and many of the ingredients are easy to substitute. You won’t be able to wait as the scent of cinnamon and vanilla wafts out of your oven! Serve this skillet cookie with a dollop of vanilla bean ice cream or fresh organic berries for a sweet, sinful-tasting dessert.

Paleo Pizookie – Homemade Skillet Cookie

Start to Finish: 30 minutes

Dry ingredients:

• 1/3 cup coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 1 scoop collagen peptides (may substitute chocolate or vanilla flavors)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon

Wet ingredients:

• 1 pasture raised egg + 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Brain Octane Oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 teaspoon stevia (or 2 scoops of MitoSweet)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup sprouted almond butter (may substitute raw almond butter, or soaked cashew nut butter)
• 1/2 cup dark 90% chocolate chips (may substitute cacao nibs)
• Coconut oil for greasing

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the base of an 8-inch cast iron skillet with coconut oil.
2. In a blender, add all wet ingredients and blend for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a wide mixing bowl.
3. In another bowl, sieve coconut and tapioca flours. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Add 3/4 of the chocolate chips and fold through.
5. Add pizookie dough to the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the dough to the edges of the pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the pizookie.
6. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the sides begin to puff and the top is set and starting to turn golden. Check your pizookie around the 10-minute mark, since it can overcook quickly and lose its golden color.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with paleo or keto ice cream, or fresh organic berries.
