Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies are easy 4-ingredient vegan peanut butter cookies with almond flour.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted) (smooth, fresh, no added sugar, no added oil)
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup (or brown rice syrup for low fructose, low sugar, or monk fruit syrup for keto)
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour (or oat flour, or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/3 cup Vegan Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl, stir in fresh peanut butter with maple syrup until creamy and consistent.

  3. 3

    Stir in almond flour and coconut flour. Use a spoon at first, then knead the dough with your hands to form a cookie dough ball.

  4. 4

    Divide the ball into 12 small cookie balls and place each ball onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving 1 thumb space between each ball. The cookies don't expand while baking.

  5. 5

    Use a fork to gently press each cookie ball into a thick disk. I recommend pressing two times, forming a cross on top of each cookie. Don't press too hard, or the cookies crumble on the sides. If so, use your hands to smoothen the sides.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies' top and sides are golden-brown.

  7. 7

    Slide a spatula under each cookie to transfer them onto a cooling rack.

  8. 8

    Cool for 1 hour before eating. The cookies are slightly soft when out of the oven and get hard and crunchy after they cool down.
