Kami from No Diets Allowed is in the kitchen with us today!
I’m SO excited to give her Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies a try… they look ah-maz-ing and healthy for me too?! That’s a win-win in my book 🙂
I’ll let let her take it from here…
I’m addicted to these cookies. I probably should enlist in some type of recovery program because it’s becoming a problem. I can’t live without them! I make two dozen of these every Sunday and by Monday afternoon they’re gone. AND let’s just say I’m not freely sharing them.
I first fell in love with my flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites. Then my addiction just snowballed out of control when I created these Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies! Let me share a little secret with you… come closer. A LITTLE closer.
These cookies are not only flourless, but they are also sugar-free and vegan (no milk or eggs). They are full of protein and fiber and are OH so tasty. A healthy AND tasty cookie? Trust me, my friends. I wouldn’t lead you astray.
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1/2 cup honey or agave
- 4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 15 oz cans chickpeas or garbanzo beans, rinsed well
- 1 cup natural or freshly ground *CHUNKY* peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a food processor or blender, add honey, vanilla, baking powder, and garbanzo beans. Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth. Make sure to scrape the sides and top and process again until they?re combined.
- Move contents to a medium-sized bowl. Stir in chunky peanut butter. Mix well. The mixture will be very thick and sticky.
- With wet hands, form into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place onto baking sheet. Press down slightly with a fork making a crisscrossed pattern. Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes. Cookies will still be very soft. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 to 10 min then remove to cooling rack.
Are you now addicted like me? Well, try my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites to ease your craving.

I just made the cookies on Sunday and have already made another batch on Tuesday. They are awesome!! Thank you so much for this recipe.
Thank you so much for the fun comment… I’m so glad you love these cookies! They’re delicious 🙂 Have a great night xoxo~ Ruthie
I am a little concerned with the garbanzo beans, my husband hates, what he calls, “the bean texture.” I assume with the other ingredients you will not be able to taste the garbanzo beans, but as far as the texture, is it about the same as a not so healthy cookies? Could I substitute the grain-free vegan cookie and get away with if? =)
THESE ARE SO GOOD! i just made them…i put about 3/4 cup of honey instead of just half and they turned out great! YUM-O! Thanks for sharing!

Hey there. Just made the dough and they are in the oven. Can I just say yummo, licked the spoon. The kids are gonna be so excited and so am I to serve them. What a great natural cookie. I did add some mini chocolate chips but just about a 1/4 cup.
The mini chips would be a wonderful addition! I’m so glad they are yummy… I can’t wait to make them myself 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
