Description

If you love peanut butter and chocolate, you have to try these peanut flour cookies! They’re easy to make in one bowl with just 10 ingredients and they’re completely plant based!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or 1 tablespoon chia seeds (see note)
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup peanut flour (Gently spoon this into a measuring cup. Do not pack it.)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used vegan dark chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the ground flax with the water and set aside.
  3. Combine the peanut flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut sugar with melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Add the flaxseed mixture and stir until combined.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the coconut sugar mixture and stir until combined.
  6. Add chocolate chips and stir until mixed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set.

Notes

Ground flaxseed mixed with water makes an egg substitute that helps hold the cookies together. If you don’t have flaxseed, you can substitute chia seeds instead.

This makes a small batch of 8 cookies. Feel free to double the recipe, if desired.
