Happy Wednesday, kiddos!
If you are here for What I ate Wednesday, the link up is still open below- Unfortunately, I’ve been a little bit sick these past few days and as such, hadn’t documented a full day of eats for you! Instead, let’s throw back to the time I ate FLATOUT wraps for every single meal and snack.
I mean, today they will be featured again! To compensate, I’m not only sharing ONE recipe today but TWO!
Whether you like the breakfast cookie dough OR the dippers OR both- We’ve got you covered!
I’m excited to back again this month with another seasonal pita chip flavor made with my favorite Flatout wraps! So far, we’ve had cinnamon bun pita chips, churros pita chips and of course, the popular apple pie pita chips! It’s been awesome to see many of you guys enjoy these sweet twists on pita chips, so we’re back with a new flavor this month- SNICKERDOODLE!
Traditional snickerdoodle cookies are essentially Paula Deen covered in cinnamon sugar- Butter, shortening, and sugar. We’ll be incorporating the cinnamon/sugar combination, but with a healthy spin! Previously, I’d used a granulated stevia blend based off monk fruit sweetener. This time, we’re going to be using something different- Erythritol! The reason why we used erythritol over monk fruit is that once baked, the granulated sweetener stays in a better-granulated state- I think this is key to achieve a more accurate snickerdoodle texture! Also, I opted to use standard cinnamon instead of Saigon cinnamon, as the latter was a little too overpowering! Regardless, you can use any of those interchangeably, but they still taste great!
For the Flatout base, I stick to either the original or the ProteinUP varieties- They are slightly thinner and provide a crispier chip. You can use any of their fold-its too, but be wary some of their varieties are savory flavored- Enjoy those as a sandwich later in the day!
ZING.
So let’s talk part 2- The breakfast cookie dough!
If you’ve been a reader in this neck of the woods for the past little while, you know there’s been some cookie dough twists on here! My initial idea was to share a snickerdoodle cookie dough. However, I realized that I’d already shared that this time last year! Besides snickerdoodle, we’ve also had pumpkin and a classic version. Most recently, I shared this oatmeal chocolate chip breakfast cookie dough. Now? It’s time for our paleo friends to be in on the action!
This healthy paleo breakfast cookie dough is thick, satisfying and has the exact texture of cookie dough! Unlike traditional cookie dough, this contains no butter, grains, sugar, oil or dairy, but you’d never be able to tell! Also, it contains NO eggs, so don’t feel the least bit wary before digging in. By using smart swaps and simple hacks, this grain-free cookie dough is replicated to taste like the classic! It’s also single serve, but can easily be doubled, tripled or hundroopled.
Yes, that is a new word.
It’s suitable for those following a paleo, vegan, gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and grain free lifestyle! Let’s get into a little bit of specifics about the base!
If you’ve been a long-term reader on here, you know I tend to stick to coconut flour as my nut-free and paleo friendly flour. While coconut flour WILL be partaking in today’s concoction, the main flour base will actually be almond flour! I found almond flour to lend a creamier texture for this, and perfect to enjoy without chilling! For the nut butter, I’ve opted to use cashew butter, because it’s mild and not overpowering. Almond butter would also work, or even sunflower seed or soynut butter. You CAN use peanut butter (it technically won’t be paleo anymore), but it is overpowering and will be very prominent.
Now here is the part which can affect the sweetness/texture- If sugar isn’t an issue, I’d recommend using the pure maple syrup. It really does add to the ‘cookie dough’ texture. I would NOT recommend using a sugar free maple or pancake syrup blend, as it doesn’t hold up whatsoever. You could sub it for agave or even brown rice syrup (this will also not be paleo). You can switch out the sticky sweetener or a granulated kind- Monk fruit sweetener or the above-mentioned erythritol would work, but please make sure to increase the milk of choice by a tablespoon or two.
HACK! Want an added boost of protein? This totally works with adding protein powder! Check out recommendations here, as they all will work. If you opt for the casein or vegan brands, you’ll need to increase the milk- They are naturally thicker!
Make these healthy snickerdoodle pita chips AND paleo breakfast cookie dough and kickstart your morning with sweet, sweet style!
Healthy Paleo Breakfast Cookie Dough
Ingredients
For the Paleo Breakfast Cookie Dough
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 T coconut flour
- pinch sea salt
- 1 T granulated sweetener of choice optional
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional
- 1 T cashew butter can sub for another nut butter
- 1 T pure maple syrup can sub for agave, brown rice syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup + milk of choice I used unsweetened almond milk*
- 1-2 T chocolate chips of choice I used dairy free
For the Snickerdoodle Pita Chips
- 1 Flatout Wrap of choice
- 1 tsp oil
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 T erythritol
- Cooking spray
Instructions
For the Paleo Breakfast Cookie Dough
- In a small mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and mix well.
- In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, melt your nut butter with maple syrup until combined. Mix through the vanilla extract and transfer to the dry mixture- The mixture should be crumbly. Using a tablespoon, add milk of choice until a thick batter is formed. Fold in the chocolate chips and if desired, add a dash more milk.
For the Snickerdoodle Pita Chips
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large baking tray with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine your oil, cinnamon and erythritol and mix well. Cut up your Flatout bread and using a brush, lightly coat each side of the pita chips and lay in a single layer on the greased tray.
- Bake pita chips for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon and enjoy!
Notes
The cookie dough has a fantastic consistency when allowed to sit for half an hour or so before enjoying. If prepped in advance, keep in the refrigerator.
The baked chips store well in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

hope you are feeling better!
🙂 thanks, Meredith! Much better, but my salt cravings are INSANE!
Cookie dough is my weakness, I definitely need to try this healthier alternative. And with flat-out chips, genius idea! I love those flatbreads, no shame in eating them at every meal!
😀 Thank you! It may have been overboard but it was delicious!
I must admit that I’ve never heard of erythritol…but I have definitely heard of Snickerdoodles. What a genius idea to turn Flatout flatbreads into tasty snickerdoodle pita chips. Forget the cookie dough, I just want to eat these pita chips plain! (Ok, let’s pretend I didn’t say that…because who would ever forget the cookie dough?) Either way, love this combo my friend!
Haha, I think I’m just going to share variations of flavors with them- The (flavors) are my oyster!
I like erythritol… It seems to not have the after taste that stevia does? Also, this cookie dough looks on point. 🙂 Hope you are on the mend friend.
Thanks so much, Emily- Appreciate it!
My mom always talks about erythritol, but I don’t always listen to her food advice because she thinks carbs are the devil. Now I may look into it…..
Hope you feel better! It took me two doctors visits, 10 days of antibiotics, and a lot of drugs to kick mine, so I definitely hope yours goes by quicker!
Oh mama Kelly! Thank goodness she has you for a daughter to fill her void 😀
OH geebuz, poor K! I bet all those (potential) students did it!
I’m not sure what I like more about snickerdoodle – the cinnamon sugar flavour, or the actual name 😆 But yes… I’d like some cookie dough for breakfast. I need a break from the oatmeal. Maybe. FEEL BETTER!
You are so naughty…I love it.
HELLOOOO!!!!!
Hi there.
Yo
Whats up?
HI!!!!! I’m okay, FINALLY submitted my manuscript so back to having a life! Let’s catch up!
I had sweet potatoes just as you had Flatout wraps. EVERY. MEAL. And I LOVE snickerdoodles. Especially the Lenny and Larry’s snickerdoodles! SO guilty of overdoing them though.
Haha, I love making the copycats of those- So delicious!
All the ingredients are so healthy and it looks like a giant raw cookie! (my favourite!) Really looking forward to trying this one out Arman! 😀
😀 Let’s make it PINK!!!
YES! Would be the best breakfast cookie ever hehe
Looks great. I never had cookie dough for breakfast before, thanks for sharing
You are so welcome, Keith!
Hey! Is there a sub I could use for the almond flour? Or could I increase the coconut flour?
Hi Laura! You sure could, but you’ll need to add a little more liquid of choice 🙂
Hi Arman,what chocolate chips do you use? I used Well Naturally sugar free melts but they have been discontinued.I want to find another brand, sugar free and even vegan,with no refined sugar. I live in Australia i
would like to purchase one here. Can you help?
I love your healthy recipes,the best site I’ve come across
Hi Wanda! You can check out Lily’s sugar free chips- When I’m in Australia, I often chop up Well Naturally bars (which should still be continued 🙂 )
Hi Arman, I just recently discovered your blog and this is the first recipe of yours that I try but given how good this was, I’ll definitly be checking your other recipes ! I added a dash of cinnamon and two pinches of nutritionnal yeast and thought the cookie dough tasted even better so if you feel adventurous, I recommend you try it !
🙂 Thank you!
Hi, I was wondering if you could give an estimate of how many calories are in said cookie dough?
Sure, if you plug in the ingredients into myfitnesspal, it will provide it all for you! 🙂
