Sugar Free Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies are indisputably THE BEST gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, all round healthy Peanut Butter Cookies we have ever tried!
What’s awesome about these cookies is that they’re made with ingredients that all ADD something to your nutrition!
Here’s why these Sugar Free Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies are good for you:
- They have a good balance of Macronutrients – Complex Carbs, Protein and Healthy Fat
- Peanuts, despite their name, are actually a legume and are full of protein, healthy fat, nutrients, and they contain resveratrol which has anti-aging properties. Plus you only need a small handful of peanuts, or a tablespoon of peanut butter per day to reap the benefits!
- Arrowroot starch or flour is gluten free, grain free and contains a good amount of potassium, iron and B vitamins, which is great for boosting metabolism, circulation and heart health
- And I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that honey, Himalayan pink salt and eggs are good for us in their own unique and special ways
SO, next time you’re looking for a healthy cookie recipe, you’ll have this one in your back pocket to try at a moments notice!!
But, really, I would suggest you try them as soon as humanly possible, coz, they’re that good.
My Sugar Free Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies can be frozen at cookie dough phase, just place the dough in a ziplock bag and freeze to bake another time.
Or, you can freeze the cookies after they have been baked. I would suggest defrosting them completely and then baking them for about 6 minutes to get that crispy outside, then serve warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container somewhere cool.
While these cookies are certainly healthy as far as sweet treats go, they are still considered a treat in my book, and I’ll have them in place of a less healthy cookie, and not on a daily basis.
Try these Sugar Free Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies soon!
This weekend sounds like a plan…I’ve got a batch all ready to go in the freezer, and they are going to get polished off this weekend for sure!!
