WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED QUOTE
Stop worrying about dieting. Just eat whole foods that come out of the earth and not the foods that fertilize it. Ken Carlile, Blogger at www.ieatplants.com

HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES, OH YEAH

Print Friendly and PDF

 





Preheat Oven to 350˚ Fahrenheit

Dry Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons almond flour or whole wheat pastry flour

1.5 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 cup organic raw coconut sugar

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon a Xanthan Gum (it's natural and easy to find in Bob's Red Mill area...great binder)

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter, raw unsalted is best

6 Tablespoons applesauce

1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tablespoons water (make ahead)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 (I sometimes add 1 tablespoon organic cocoa powder for that chocolate peanut butter taste)

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients using a whisk so they are all well mixed.  In another bowl combine the wet ingredients.  Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and form them into balls in your hands about 1/8 cup each (I use a quarter cup to measure, scoop out the dough and cut it in half). Using the tines of a dinner fork, softly flatten the cookies creating a tic-tac-toe pattern.  Makes approximately 12 cookies. 

Bake for 15 minutes. They’ll look underdone when you take them out, but that’s ok. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the tray to a cooling rack using a spatula.

Creamy and crumbly, these cookies have few ingredients and come together easily.  No dairy and no oil make these fit my rules for a whole food plant based cookie.  Enjoy.
