Gluten-Free Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
Healthy & delicious peanut butter cookies that the whole family will love! They're Gluten-free, keto, sugar-free and vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1.5 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup stevia or monk fruit can sub for 1/2 cup sugar if not keto
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325 F/160 C. Line a baking tray with baking paper, or a non-stick baking mat.
- Mix flaxseed meal with 2 tbsp water and let it sit for 5 minutes, until jelly-like.
- Place peanut butter, monk fruit, coconut oil, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder and your flaxseed 'egg' in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add almond flour and stir again.
- Fold in chopped peanuts and stir one more time.
- Using your hands, roll the cookie dough into 15-18 cookies. You can then use your fingers or a fork to press them lightly onto the tray. The cookies will grow so place them apart (you may need to use an extra tray to cook all 18 cookies).
- Bake them for 10 minutes if you’d like them to be soft in the middle, or, if you prefer more crunchy cookies bake them up to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown on the edges.
- Let them cool completely before transferring onto a plate.
- Store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
The cookies will remain soft until completely cooled, but don't think that means they're not cooked properly, that's just what almond flour does. Be careful to not overcook them.
