Biscotti al burro di arachidi e farina di mandorle
Ingredienti
- 1 bicchiere Farina di mandorle - Learn how to measure accurately
- ½ bicchiere Burro di arachidi (non salato)
- 3 cucchiai Sciroppo d'acero - (nota 1)
Opzionale
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Estratto di vaniglia - per il sapore
- ¼ cucchiaino da tè Lievito in polvere - for lighter texture
Chocolate Shell – optional
- ½ bicchiere Cioccolato Fondente
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Olio di cocco
Istruzioni
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil with coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in almond flour and baking powder until it forms a cookie dough batter.
- Form 12 dough balls and place them on the baking sheet, leaving half a thumb of space between each ball. Flatten them with the back of a fork to form a cross on top of the cookies.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Cool them down for 10 minutes on the rack, then gently slide a spatula under each cookie to transfer to a cooling rack.
- Attendere dai 30 minuti a un'ora per apprezzarne appieno la consistenza croccante e il sapore.
Guscio di cioccolato
- If you want to dip the cookies in chocolate, place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second bursts until melted, dip half the cookies in melted chocolate, and return them to a wire rack. Sprinkle crushed peanuts if you like. Pop the cookies in the freezer 10 minutes to quickly harden the chocolate shell.
Note
Alimentazione
Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies are a version of my classic Biscotti vegani al burro di arachidi but without all-purpose flour. I am an expert at baking cookies with almond flour and have created many of them, like the famous biscotti di pasta frolla con farina di mandorle or almond flour lemon cookies.
Almond flour cookies are healthier than wheat-based cookies because almond flour is:
- Lower in Carbs – it won’t spike your blood sugar level as wheat, and therefore you won’t crave sweets as much.
- High in Fibers that keep you full.
- Proteine Vegetali that are also fulfilling.
- Grasso Sano
But this doesn’t mean that all almond flour cookies are healthy. It also depends on how much sugar, type of sugar, and ingredients are mixed into them.
Why You’ll Love These Cookies
Here, I am sharing healthy peanut butter cookies with almond flour made with no eggs, no dairy, and refined sugar-free.
Therefore, these cookies are vegan, gluten-free peanut butter cookies naturally:
- Senza glutine
- Vegano
- Senza uova
- Senza lattosio
- Cheto-friendly – see the options below.
Ingredients and Substitution
The best part about these peanut butter cookies is that all you need to make them are only five simple pantry ingredients. Plus, even if these are vegan peanut butter cookies, you don’t even need fancy egg replacers like flax egg to make them work.
- Burro di arachidi naturale – this is the butter with only one ingredient: peanuts (and perhaps salt). Don’t confuse it with peanut butter spreads that hide added sugar and oil. These won’t make the cookies healthy or as suitable in texture. Also, make sure you use a fresh jar of peanut butter to have creamy peanut butter with no dry parts. Feel free to swap for sun butter for a nut-free option or almond butter if you like.
- Sciroppo d'acero – or any liquid sweetener you love, including brown rice syrup, agave syrup, coconut nectar, or for keto peanut butter cookies with almond flour, use sugar-free Monk fruit syrup. You can’t use granulated sweeteners like brown sugar or coconut sugar in this recipe. The batter wouldn’t hold together.
- Estratto di vaniglia – per insaporire
- Sale – saltare questo passaggio se il burro di arachidi è già salato.
- Farina di mandorle sbiancate – preferably use ultra-fine almond flour. It’s golden in color, light, and ultra-fine in texture. I don’t recommend almond meal because the cookies come out grainy and dark.
- Lievito in polvere this is optional, it makes the cookies a little bit lighter, you can skip it, or half the quantity in baking soda.
Making Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies
Even your kids can make this cookie dough and enjoy baking some delicious cookies that are good for them.
Texture del biscotto
The cookies need cooling for at least 15 to 30 minutes to deliver their best crunchy texture. They harden as they cool down, so be patient.
Istruzioni per la conservazione
These peanut butter cookies have no eggs nor dairy, and therefore they store very well non-refrigerated. Place the cookies in a cookie jar at room temperature and keep them for up to one week.
Add-Ons
There are so many ways to boost the flavors and texture of these simple 5-ingredients peanut butter cookies. You can add:
- 1/3 tazza di gocce di cioccolato fondente – who doesn’t like healthy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
- 1/4 cup of crunchy peanuts or simply use natural crunchy peanut butter.
Domande frequenti
A dry dough won’t come together, and it will crumble apart. This happens if your dough lacks moisture. It can be that your peanut butter jar was old and not creamy, so some oil is missing, or you used a liquid sweetener high in fiber like Monk fruit.
If so, add a bit of melted coconut oil to help the dough come together, one teaspoon at a time.
You added too much liquid. It could be that you have added too much syrup or peanut butter.
To balance the extra moisture, add more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you can form a soft cookie dough ball.
Almonds are very sensitive to heat, way more than wheat, and they can burn fast if you bake your cookies for too long or too close to the top or bottom rack. Always bake almond flour cookies on the center rack. If you can use a convection mode rather than a classic mode, it keeps the color of the cookie nice and golden.
Don’t exceed 15 minutes of baking time, or the almond flour burns.
You probably have used almond meal. It’s a coarse flour made from raw almonds.
Unfortunately, if you have already prepared the dough, you can’t remove the grainy texture coming from the almond meal but next time, aim for blanched, ultra-fine almond flour.

Hi. is the nutrition information for the cookie with the chocolate dip or without? Thanks

hello, I’m looking for crunchy GF cookies, is this soft or crunchier than the other GF cookies? should I use more sugar? and also what is the difference using baking powder to baking soda? Thank you
They are not crunchier than regular GF cookies. Use my 3-ingredient Peanut butter cookies with all-purpose gluten-free flour for truly crunchy cookies.
I just baked these cookies. I really like them! They are not very sweet, which what I prefer. And the texture was great. Aesthetically they look perfect. I regret not making a double batch right away!
Thank you! You can easily double the recipe next time to bake more of them at once.
My family loved this! So easy and delicious. I made 6 large cookies instead of 12 so that each cookie has about 9 grams of protein.

Love the cookies ! Thank you for the recipe
