I currently love to create healthy and filling snacks. Often people think it is so complicated to create healthy snacks. But it can also be quite simple. I would like to show you how easy it is to make healthy snacks at home without much effort. I have already created some delicious healthy snack recipes like Strawberry Oatmeal Bars, Energy Balls with Dates and Raspberries as well as Cookie Dough made of chickpeas. All recipes are without sugar and flour. Besides, they are made as easy and quick as these healthy Peanut Butter Cookies. The cookies are made with simple ingredients. I particularly love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. That’s why I have added a few more chocolate chips. The cookies are without flour.

Ingredients Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

These healthy cookies with peanut butter are suitable for the whole family. You only need a total of 8 ingredients for the recipe which you probably already have stored in the pantry!

• Peanut Butter: When buying peanut butter make sure that it is peanut butter without any other additives like sugar. Do you not like peanut butter? You can also replace it with cashew or almond butter.
  
  
• Oat Flour: You can easily make oat flour yourself. Use fine oats, put them into a chopper and you have oat flour. For gluten-free preparation, make sure you use gluten-free oats or almond flour.
  
  
• Coconut Blossom Sugar: The slight caramel taste of the coconut blossom sugar goes perfectly with the Peanut Butter Cookies. Of course, you can also use another sugar alternative such as maple, date, or rice syrup. Would you prefer to use sugar? Then I recommend using brown sugar.
  
  
• Chia-Egg: I used the Chia-Egg as an egg substitute. But you can also use flaxseed eggs.
  
  
• Oat Milk: To make the dough a little more flexible, add some plant-based milk or water.
  
  
• More Ingredients: Baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, chocolate chips (optional).

Easy preparation of vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Step 1: First make the chia or flax seed egg. Make oat flour by putting fine oats into a chopper.

Step 2: Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix with a whisk. Mix the liquid ingredients separately in a mixing bowl.

• 

Step 3: Combine the ingredients together. Knead the dough with your hands until you have a firm mass.

Step 4: Take a heaped tablespoon, shape the dough into balls or use an ice-cream scoop and press the balls down. Don’t press the cookie dough too flat because the cookies should remain soft and chewy after baking. If you want to make more crispy cookies, the dough has to be thinner and longer baking time will make the cookies crispy.
