How To Make Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
The preparation of these vegan peanut butter cookies couldn’t be much easier. All you need is a bowl and a wooden spoon. And they are ready in just 15 minutes!
If you want to make the recipe even easier, you can use store-bought oat flour. But I also included instruction to make homemade oat flour from rolled oats.
STEP 1: Make the flax egg. Combine two tablespoons of flaxseed meal with five tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
STEP 2: In the meantime, make the oat flour. You can skip this step if you use store-bought oat flour. Otherwise place the oats into a food processor or high speed blender and process until you have a fine flour.
STEP 3: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
STEP 4: Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form 12 cookies out of the cookie dough using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon.
STEP 5: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes. Mine took 10 minutes. Then let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before you move them to a cooling rack. Don’t pick them up too early or they might stick to the parchment paper.
Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies – FAQs:
Can you freeze vegan peanut butter cookies?
Yes, you can easily freeze these cookies. Make sure to first let them cool off completely. Freeze them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for about an hour. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag and squeeze out as much air as possible.
You can freeze them for up to 4 weeks.
How do you store these peanut butter cookies? And how long do they keep fresh?
Properly stored these peanut butter cookies keep fresh for about 2 weeks. Let them cool down completely and then store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Adding a slice of bread helps the cookies to stay soft and fresh. The bread will soak up the moisture, so this is an easy trick to keep homemade cookies fresh.
Can I replace the sweetener?
I used maple syrup for my vegan peanut butter cookies, which is my favorite kind of sweetener. If you want you could use agave instead of the maple syrup.
I would, however, not recommend replacing it with brown sugar or coconut sugar as the moisture is needed for the consistency of the cookie dough.
