Vegan Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
Vegan Keto Peanut Butter Cookies, a delicious cookie dessert or snack idea that is vegan, gluten free, sugar free, keto, and low carb diet friendly.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp Flaxseed Meal
- 6 tbsp Water
- 1 ½ cups Almond Flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 cup Sugar Free Peanut Butter
- ⅓ cup Monk Fruit - see post for alternatives
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Peanuts Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 and prep a cookie sheet for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper on a rimmed baking or cookie sheet . You may need two sheet to bake these cookies as they spread. In a small bowl or cup, mix together the flaxseed meal with the water. Set this aside while you work.
- Next, in a small or medium sized bowl, use a fork or a whisk to mix together the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat together the peanut butter, sugar alternative and the coconut oil until creamy in a large mixing bowl. Then add the flaxseed and water from the first bowl, vanilla extract, and the dry ingredients from the second bowl and combine until just mixed. Fold in the chopped peanuts.
- To form these cookies, roll them into a ball and then press them into the prepped cookies sheet. You can use a fork to create the crisscross pattern that is common with peanut butter cookies. Leave room between cookies as they will spread while baking.
- Bake these cookie for 10 minutes for a soft cookie. Or, bake these cookies for up to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown in the edges for a more crisp cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring.
Recipe Notes
I mentioned that if you want this cookie to be completely vegan, you should follow the ingredients and instructions as stated. Please make sure that you peanut butter is all vegan as well.
For sugar free and keto low carb diet folks, please make sure that your peanut butter has no added sugar in it.
If you are not vegan you can use two eggs and omit the flaxseed and water ingredients. You can make your own peanut butter using this recipe or purchase low carb sugar free peanut butter online.
