Ingredients
For quantities and instructions, scroll down to the recipe box below.
Here is everything you will need to make these vegan gluten-free peanut butter cookies:
- Natural peanut butter: You must use natural peanut butter, which means it is made only of peanuts and perhaps some salt. Make sure there are no added oils or sugar.
- Maple syrup: Make sure you use pure maple syrup.
- Vanilla extract
- Coconut sugar
- Almond flour: Use a fine almond flour. This cannot be substituted with a different gluten-free flour.
Step by step instructions
Making these cookies is super easy! Start by setting your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then make your dough.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar.
Next, mix in the almond flour.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Form balls with 1 tablespoon of dough and place them on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. Flatten the balls of dough with a fork.
Place your baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Tips
- Make sure your peanut butter is well mixed before measuring and adding it to your mixing bowl. Oil naturally separates in natural peanut butter, so mix it into your peanut butter jar before measuring out your peanut butter.
- When your cookies come out of the oven they will be extremely soft and breakable. Make sure you leave them for about 10 minutes, then gently transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before storing them.
- Store the cookies in a sealed container at room temperature.
