Flour-less Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)




Within the past year I cut out eating refined white flour. Initially I was saddened because that meant that I could no longer enjoy all of the delicious bread and sweets that I was use to eating. Turns out that I can still enjoy great desserts, but I just need to make a few modifications. It's healthier anyway, so I'm convinced that this way is much better than the products I was consuming before. 

So needless to say, I love when I find a tasty recipe that quenches my sweet tooth and does not interrupt my flour-free diet. I also love sharing with others great recipes, because it may be the tip that's needed at just the right time. 

Below is a step by step guide to how I make Flour-less Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. I'm sure you're wondering, 'how can you make a cookie without flour?' Well it's possible and I'll show you how to do it!

The ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup of Natural Peanut Butter
  • 3 tablespoons of honey
  • 3 tablespoons of Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • *Optional Flaxseed Oil


Supplies:

Thanks for commenting Tara! The flour free ingredients surprised me too. For much of my life I've opted in for the flour but there are many options for no flour. You can even make a cake without flour. Hoping to try that recipe soon.
