Peanut Butter Cookies
Equipment
- 1 High Speed Blender optional, I used a Thermomix
Ingredients
- 250 g peanut butter or any nut butter you like
- 30 g oat flour
- 90 g chickpea flour more depending on which nut butter you use
- 100 g maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Whisk together peanut butter and maple syrup until uniform. Add baking powder, cinnamon, gluten-free oat flour and chickpea flour to the bowl. Stir until you get a uniform thick dough that’s rollable into balls.
- Refrigerate dough for 10 minutes, then roll into balls and place on a prepared baking tray. Flatten by pressing down with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake cookies for 12 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Remove and cool completely on a cooling rack. The cookies will harden as they cool. Best kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
