These gluten free and vegan peanut chocolate chip cookies taste amazing and are quick and easy to make.
I love a good biscuit and have really struggled to find any in the shops that are grain free, maize free, egg free and soy free. As usual I realized the only thing to do was make my own. On a recent trip to the supermarket I found some peanut flour by Sukrin and was hoping to turn it into some delicious cookies. In desperation I turned to my old faithful Pinterest for a recipe. It didn’t disappoint.
I found this really easy recipe from the amazing Wall flower Kitchen. There are some really great gluten free and vegan recipes on the blog. Please go check it out for some brilliant food ideas.
This really is a quick and easy recipe. I have made it a few times now and it never disappoints. I substitute chocolate chips for cacao nibs and used coconut sugar for my sugar substitute, and they came out great.
These cookies are a satisfying treat with milk or a coffee. If like me you love a good biscuit or cookie but don’t like too much faff or a giant list of ingredients then they are perfect for you. I guarantee they won’t stay around for long, one is never enough!
