Peanut Butter Dairy Free Recipes

DAIRY-FREE PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• Blend coconut milk, banana, peanut butter, and honey in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Add ice and blend again until the ice is crushed, 2 to 3 minutes.

GLUTEN-FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES (FLOURLESS, DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
• Mix the peanut butter with sugar until sugar has dissolved.
• Add in the vanilla essence and egg, and then stir until you get a homogeneous cookie dough.
• Using a teaspoon or a cookie scoop, scoop one tablespoon of cookie dough and then roll it between both palms until you form a golf-ball sized ball. Repeat until you have used up all the cookie dough (you should get between 12 to 14 balls).
• Place cookie dough balls in one single layer on the baking paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each of them (you may need to bake the cookies in 2 batches depending on the size of your baking sheet)
• Use the back of a fork to press down the balls in a criss-cross manner to flatten the dough slightly.
• Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn a lighter brown (they will look slightly undercooked, but that's fine as they will continue cooking with the residual heat).
• Allow cookies to cool at least 20 minutes before removing them from the pan (this is important because if cookies are still too hot, they will break when you move them).

SOFT AND CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• NOTE: This recipe has recently been tweaked for improvement! For the old recipe, please see "Notes" section below.Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda then set aside.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or using a hand mixer, beat peanut butter and butter together until smooth.
• Add in the granulated and brown sugars and beat until light and fluffy, then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix until just combined. It is important not to over-mix the dough!
• Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form 1.5 tbsp-sized balls of dough and bake one tray at a time for 8-13 minutes. The middles will look soft and the edges should look set, but not golden brown (if the edges are brown the cookies are already over-done!).
• When removing the cookies from the oven, gently but firmly bang the pan on the edge of the counter a couple times if they look too puffy. Let the cookies cool on a baking sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
