Peanut Butter Cookies

Recipe from Deliciously Ella.

We all know that peanut butter is a much-loved household staple. We love it as a sandwich spread or even as a dip with some freshly cut apples (ah, the sweet and salty combo - yum!), but have you ever used it to make cookies?

The Proof is in the Peanut

As well as being delicious, peanuts also have a stack of health benefits. Peanuts are low in saturated fats, free from cholesterol and gluten, and are also a low GI food. As well as being a fabulous source of fibre and healthy fats, peanuts also have the highest protein content of any nut.

So, now that you're convinced that peanut butter cookies are a good choice, let's get to the recipe!

Fresh is Best: Make Your Own Peanut Butter

Method:

1. Add your peanuts and salt to the NutraMilk container.

2. Press Butter, and set for 2-3 minutes.

• 35g brown rice flour

• 50ml maple syrup
