Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies


Today is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day. Aren't you so glad that someone is out there making up these ridiculously awesome holidays? I am!

Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies

This was my first time to bake with NO sugar at all and use only a sweetener. I used Stevia In The Raw and added no sugar. That being said, I liked these cookies! 

These cookies end up being a little softer than traditional peanut butter cookies and do not get quite as crispy. That being said, I love how the natural peanut butter flavor is really the star here. If you are a peanut butter lover like I am, you've got to give these a try!

Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies
     makes 12 cookies
3/4 C natural peanut butter
1/4 C oat flour*
3 T egg whites, or egg whites from 2 eggs
1/8 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt {optional}

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, add all ingredients together and mix well. Roll into 12 balls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. 

With the back of a fork, make vertical and horizontal lines in the dough and flatten cookies. 
Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven. After a few minutes, transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Aaaaannnnnnddddd, eat! 


If you don't mind a little sugar in your life and would like to try peanut butter cookies with it, try these
But if you need a diabetic friendly peanut butter cookie OR you're just looking to cut some sugar out of your diet, try THESE! 

*Make your own oat flour by just taking 1/4 C rolled oats and blending them in a food processor or blender or magic bullet until fine. {It's cheaper than buying oat flour too!} And if you're are eating gluten free, make sure to buy gluten free oats.

  1. Delish - I left the oatmeal whole because I like it that way and it came great. Thanks for the recipe!
