Gluten Free Vegan Living

Peanut Butter Cookies brings back lots of childhood memories for me.  My mother made them often and let me flatten the balls of dough with a fork.  I was raised in the generation of stay-at-home moms (aging myself now!), and Peanut Butter Cookies were a frequent after-school snack for me.

Unlike the cookies I grew up with, today’s featured recipe is Gluten Free Peanut Cookies.

Gluten-free vegan peanut butter cookies

Makes around 20 cookies

1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup Doves Farm GF plain flour (or ordinary flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup (around 130g) peanut butter

1. Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
2. Mix the flours and baking powder together in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, mash the banana well, then stir in the peanut butter until well combined.
4. Tip the flour mix into the peanut butter and banana, and stir together to form a dough.
5. Break off pieces of dough and roll into balls about 1″ across. Place on the baking tray and flatten with the back of a fork.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

I love this recipe because it is not only Gluten Free and Vegan, but because it is sugar free!  Also, I like the idea of using buckwheat flour.  I personally find buckwheat a bit overwhelming in cookies, but with the peanut butter, it sounds ‘just right’!
