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.
