Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Try this cookie that won’t cause a blood sugar crush!

So easy and filled with good fats and protein that satisfies your food cravings. Almond/ Peanut Butter cookie is not very sweet. Add a little chocolate for sweetness if you like, and you have a great easy cookie. 4 Main ingredients + salt and chocolate!

The secret with this one is using almond flour, allows us to reduce almond butter or peanut butter amount, and these are so delicious they won’t last long. My husband who doesn’t like sweets, or cookies, loves these! I think it’s cause they are full of nutrients, protein and good fats.

How to select your nut butter

Select nut butter that has only one ingredient: “almonds” or “peanuts” (and maybe a pinch of salt). You can even make your own in a food processor. Almond butter has more fiber (3.3 g compared to 1.6 g/ 2tbsp), as well as more vitamins and minerals (3 x vitamin D, 7x calcium, 2 x iron! Peanut butter has these nutrients too, just not as much. Both have magnesium, zinc – my two favorites, as well as biotin and potassium. Peanut butter has more protein!

I typically choose almonds over peanuts, cause when I’m doing my spring or fall cleanse, I want to reduce the chance of toxins. Peanuts can have mold (fungus) known as Afltoxins depending on quality of peanut butter.
