VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES INGREDIENTS:
½ Cup Gluten Free Flour:
As I said earlier, this recipe is gluten free and this flour is the perfect flour to use. I use cup 4 cup flour in so many baking recipes and you can seriously never tell that they are gluten free!
½ Cup Brown Sugar:
I used brown sugar in this recipe because it gives it the more well known chocolate chip cookie taste. If you wanted a more sugar cookie taste, you could go with white sugar.
½ Teaspoon Baking Powder:
As you know, baking powder helps the cookies get their shape and gives them a nice soft texture in the middle.
¼ Teaspoon Salt:
I used sea salt for this specific recipe, but you could also use regular salt as well. It’s just what I had in my kitchen and what I tend to prefer.
½ Cup Creamy Peanut Butter:
If you wanted a little extra crunch I think you could definitely go with crunchy peanut butter. In fact, in almost all cases I prefer crunchy, but in this case I wanted the only crunch in my cookies to be the chips. Therefore, I used creamy peanut butter.
1 banana:
This banana is the substitute for where you would normally see an egg used in cookies. However I think a banana actually makes the cookies taste better! And of course this is what makes this recipe vegan.
½ Teaspoon Vanilla extract:
You already know you have to add your vanilla. Vanilla extract is a staple in any bakers household.
4 Spoonfuls Dark Chocolate Chips:
As I explained before I love my dark chocolate. Although the brand Enjoy Life has dairy free semi-sweet chocolate chips as well if that's up your ally. But definitely look out for Enjoy Life as a great dairy free chocolate.
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and sea salt.
3. Mix in wet ingredients.
Mix in the peanut butter, then mash the banana in a small bowl, and mix in. Finally, add the vanilla.
4. Add the chocolate chips.
You can really add as many as you want, but I added around 4 spoonfuls.
5. Spray a baking tray and scoop out balls of dough onto the tray
Space them about an inch or two apart.
8. Cook in the oven at 350 degrees.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on your oven. I would say start at 10 minutes and add more time if needed.
If you love cookies you absolutely HAVE to try this recipe. Like I said before you will not regret. Happy Baking!
