Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies that are crunchy on the outside and super fudgy in the center. One bite and you will be swept away to a Peanut Buttery heaven. These delicious gluten-free cookies are super easy to make and require only a few main ingredients. Perfect as a healthier plant-based treat.

Good news for all the Peanut Butter freaks out there. I’ve finished tweaking the perfect cookie recipe for you. These crunchy delights are made in one bowl and require 20 minutes of your time. No dairy, no eggs, no gluten and no refined sugars. You think I’m exaggerating? Well let me tell you, you’re mind is gonna be blown once you try these 😛

How to prepare these vegan peanut butter cookies:

For too long I’ve been trying to make the perfect peanut butter cookie but never was I able to nail a consistency and texture I actually liked. Peanut butter has a tendency to prevent a cookie from spreading on a baking sheet, so it’s important to use a creamier/smoother peanut butter for this recipe. I added a bit of extra smooth nut butter (Trader Joes) to solve this problem.

You will also need a hand mixer or machine such as a kitchen aid for the first step of mixing the butter with coconut sugar to ensure everything is mixed in completely. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it’s smooth. At last you can fold in some chocolate chips or other tasty ingredients (raisins, nuts, seeds etc). Whatever your heart desires!

Scoop the dough (with an ice cream scoop) onto a lined baking sheet and make sure to leave some space in-between each cookie. Flatten the cookies with your fingers just a tad and then bake them in the oven for about 13-15 minutes. If you prefer your cookies chewy and soft, take them out of the oven after around 10-13 minutes.

Just in case you want some more variety, here are other healthy options you can add to the mix:

Paleo Brownie Cookies (my personal favorite)
Gluten-free Oatmeal Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Almond butter cookies
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

ENJOY and STAY SAFE!
