Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • Pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, baking soda, chia seeds, and sea salt. Mixing your dry ingredients first helps to evenly distribute everything for a consistent cookie texture.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This creates the flavorful, sticky base that holds the cookies together.
  3. Combine and Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. The dough should be thick but pliable, easy to scoop and shape.
  4. Shape Your Cookies: Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion dough onto a lined baking sheet. Flatten each ball gently with a fork or your fingers to create the signature crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges turn lightly golden but centers remain soft. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before transferring.
  6. Enjoy! Once cooled, your Healthier Nutter Butters are ready to be enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or anytime pick-me-up.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to make mixing easier and create a smoother dough.
  • Don’t overbake; remove the cookies just as edges turn golden to keep them chewy inside.
  • Experiment with textures by using crunchy or creamy peanut butter depending on preference.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by tasting the dough before baking and adding more sweetener if needed.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to preserve crunch and freshness.
