3-Ingredient Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies

There is no better snack than these vegan almond flour peanut butter cookies for afternoon tea or coffee break. They are made using only 3 ingredients, fully gluten-free and plant-based, high-in-protein and loaded with nutty flavors. We also love their soft and crumbly texture. Can also be frozen if you love to meal-prep!

Ingredients

2 cups finely ground almond flour (blanched)
1 cup NATURAL peanut butter smooth or chunky
⅓ cup maple syrup or agave nectar

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the almond flour, peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir well and make sure to break all the almond flour clumps.
Then, using about 2 tablespoons of batter at the time, roll the dough into balls and place on the baking sheet. Keep going until you used all of the dough (I used a medium size ice cream scoop). Then, using a fork, flatten them by creating an X over the cookies.
Bake for 10 minutes, then let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet so they can firm up.

Notes

Store any leftovers at room temperature for a few days. Once cooled down, transfer in an air-tight container so they don't dry out. Can also be frozen.
Make sure to use a natural kind of peanut butter (stir in the jar well before measuring). You are looking for a runny and pourable kind of peanut butter.
These cookies are not overly sweet, which is why I like them for breakfast. But, if you want them sweeter, then press a few chocolate chips over the cookies after shaped or sprinkle some coconut sugar over, then bake.
Don't overbake these cookies! They will feel very soft after just out of the oven, but will quickly firm up as they cool down.
