Peanut butter or any nut butter for that matter is life for me. Peanut butter is the main ingredient in this simple 1 bowl cookie recipe and is a great way to add healthy fat to the mix. This cookie makes the perfect handy snack or accompaniment for a nice cuppa. They’re slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy in the centre.
Peanut butter being the main ingredient here adds some good fats, protein and a load of flavour! There’s a whole 7g of protein per cookie which was totally accidental but totally cool with me. The flour I chose is oat flour which is easily accessible for most people. ( Just grab regular oats and blend into flour! ) AND this flour makes the recipe gluten free for those who are gluten intolerant/sensitive. Just opt for a gluten free oat blend.
My favourite thing about this recipe besides the eating part, is the fact that this is such a simple recipe & method. All you need is 6 ingredients and 1 bowl.
