These healthy cookies are so good and very easy.  From start to finish it’s less than 20 minutes.  No mixer needed!  I think the sweet and salty combo is what make these out of this world delicious.

These peanut butter cookies are vegan, gluten free and grain free.  If you wanted a paleo version, you can use almond butter.  If you needed a nut free version, try using sunflower butter.  I think either will work out.

Some great add ins for this recipe would be:

  • chocolate chips
  • dried fruit
  • coconut
  • cacao powder

    1. I'm not sure if PB2 will work. You can try, but you may need to add another liquid component to balance out the recipe. If you try it, I'd love to know the results!
    1. if my math is correct, about 172-5. for future reference, add up the calories in the individual ingredients, and then divide by the serving size for calories per serving.
  1. Hi, I want to make this for a friend who can only have limited amounts of maple syrup (and a host of other things)... Do you have any thoughts on varying the maple syrup amount?? Just curious. I'm eager to try this recipe!!
    1. I've tried using less and it doesn't taste as good. Can you try using some maple syrup and some dates? Or some maple syrup and a little stevia?
  2. I was wondering if honey could be used instead of MS? I only have honey on hand currently so I thought I would check for future use! Thanks
