It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date. The only rule is to keep it a secret! If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
The blog I got assigned this month is Jamie’s Our Eating Habits. Jamie has lots of recipes on her blog and the list of possible goodies to try was so long! In the end I chose these Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies because my kids love cookies and they can never have enough. Besides, I already had all the ingredients in my pantry and I was quite curious to see how they would turn out without using flour. I was so pleasantly surprised! These cookies are very easy and quick to make and they are exactly like peanut butter cookies should be: tasty, nutty, tender and crunchy all at the same time. And, above all, they are a perfect balance of sweet and salty which I love in peanut butter cookies. Enjoy and thank you Jamie for a great recipe!

Love travelling as much as cooking?
Many of the recipes I share are inspired by places I've visited around the world. On Travel with Manu you'll find destination guides, itineraries and travel inspiration to help you plan your next adventure.
We loved these. Easy and less messy to make.
Hmm, I'm confused, I used peanut butter from the powder but once it's mixed it should be the same as jar butter right?. I mixed it with almond milk into a fairly dry butter, then mixed in the cup of mixed sugars and one egg, soda, vanilla and cinnamon-
Dough came out like pancake batter! Now why is that? I was really annoyed. What did I miss in your recipe?
To remedy, I mixed in 2 cups of gluten free flour. So at least they're still " wheat flourless". Because the powder has no oil in it you have to oil the fork to make the indents in the cookie or the fork will stick.
I've tried many recipes off the web and many times the result is not right so I guess I'm not that impressed with this one since I did in the end have to add flour.
Sorry to hear that Carol.
I have never made peanut butter with powder, so I am not sure what happened. 🙁
These are now my favourite cookie recipe! So easy to make!

I've never made peanut butter cookies (or any kind of cookie for that matter) without flour. These look great though!
