Peanut butter is quite easily my favourite food. I eat it every day without fail. Not only is it jam packed full of protein, it is also full of healthy fats – just don’t eat too much of it… I really wish I could listen to my own advice. I’ll have it on toast with sriracha or spread into a sandwich with a vegan nutella, I’ll mix it into a sauce for dipping vegan spring rolls into, or spread over some yummy vegan pancakes. You name it, I’ll probably put peanut butter on it. So, it is no surprise that I also love baking it into a cookie. In particular, this gluten-free vegan peanut butter cookie recipe.

Gluten-free cookies

I’ve tried many times to make gluten-free and vegan cookies, but they come out dry and hard, often resembling crumbly rocks. However, another experiment here using nut butter, plenty of butter, and aquafaba, has helped to make these cookies soft and chewy, and close enough to the real thing!! These gluten-free and vegan nut butter cookies didn’t last long in my household! Try them out yourself, they are quick and easy and incredibly moreish.
