Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 90 grams Brown sugar substitute or sweetener (granulated, e.g. erythritol or monk fruit)
- 110 grams Whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar substitute, whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Use the back of a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly dry.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-calorie, low-fat, and high-taste peanut butter cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or pack them as a healthy snack!
