Ingredients

All you need to make these easy healthy peanut butter cookies with no eggs are 4 simple ingredients. They are not only healthy but also straightforward to make! You don’t even need a flax egg or coconut oil, or vegan butter to make these healthy cookies!

Peanut Butter – make sure you are using natural peanut butter. I always recommend using fresh, smooth peanut butter with no added oil or sugar. Of course, you can use nut butter like almond butter or cashew butter in this recipe. Make sure it’s fresh from the jar, runny and smooth. Maple Syrup – Or any liquid sweetener you love. For example, if you want a low-fructose, low-glycemic index sweetener, try brown rice syrup. For a keto vegan cookie, use monk fruit syrup. But don’t use crystal sweeteners like brown sugar or white sugar. The vegan cookies will be too dry, and the batter won’t come together. Coconut Flour – Fresh, no lumps. Almond Flour – Use fine blanched almond flour for best results. Almond meal is coarser and makes the cookies a bit dry. You can also replace almond flour with oat flour.

There is always a way to make peanut butter cookies better. To boost the flavors of this vegan cookie recipe, add some of the addition below:

Chocolate Chips. Add up to 1/3 cup of vegan chocolate chips into the vegan cookie batter. Baking Powder or baking soda is optional. But if you like your vegan cookie a bit more fluffy, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda or 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the recipe. Sea Salt – a pinch of sea salt enhances this peanut butter cookie’s flavor. Of course, don’t add sea salt if you used salted natural peanut butter, or your vegan cookie will be very salty. Vanilla Extract – you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the peanut butter cookie dough. Xanthan Gum. If you are new to grain-free baking, xanthan gum helps flours bind together and adds a little chew to cookies. For a chewy peanut butter cookie, add 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the cookie dough. Be aware that to make a healthy peanut butter cookie recipe, I don’t recommend using xanthan gum. It can cause bloating. Chia Seeds of flax seeds. 1 tablespoon of seed can be added to the cookie dough to boost protein and healthy omega-3.

Serving Suggestions

The best way to serve cookies, vegan or not, is with a glass of creamy beverage. It can be a vegan smoothie or a glass of soy milk, or almond milk. Vanilla almond milk makes the most delicious combo with these peanut butter cookies. You can also dip them in Vegan Whipped Cream or Peanut Butter Dip.
