Ingredients
- ⅔ Cup Unsweetened Peanut Butter
- ½ Cup Date Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseeds
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ + ⅓ Cup Oat Flour
- ½ Cup Unsweetened Peanut Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ¼ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce if you need it
- 2 Ounces Vegan Dark Chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, date sugar, flaxseeds, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the oat flour, peanut powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dough, using your hands if necessary. If the dough is too dry, add the applesauce 1 Tablespoon at a time, until you can easily form a ball.
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Then flatten the cookies with the palm of your hand (they won't spread during baking).
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- While the cookies are baking, melt your chocolate in the microwave on 50% power. Stir the chocolate every 30 seconds.
- Once the cookies are baked, decorate them with the chocolate however you'd like. Enjoy!
- RECIPE NOTES
- If your peanut butter already contains salt, add ¼ teaspoon of salt instead of ½ teaspoon.
