    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    Simple ingredients: made with basic ingredients and a whole wheat flour that can be found right in most local grocery store, this is an easy recipe to make

    Health benefits: spelt flour cookies are high in fiber, a good source of protein, excellent source of iron, and low on the glycemic index.

    Nutty flavor: the peanut butter and spelt flour combined give these

    🥘 Ingredients

    As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Spelt flour: spelt flour is an ancient grain flour that can be used in place of all purpose flour.

    Chunky peanut butter: I love the Smart Balance Crunchy Peanut butter in this recipe.

    Baking soda

    Salt

    Maple syrup: when making these cookies I like to use pure amber maple syrup. However a darker syrup would also be delicious and lend a little more depth of flavor.

    Vanilla extract: added to compliment the flavors

    Vegan chocolate chips: if you aren't vegan, any feel free to use milk, semi sweet, or dark chocolate chips.

    A bowl of spelt flour.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Place peanut butter in a microwave-safe medium bowl and cover bowl with a paper towel.
    3. Heat peanut butter on high power for 30-45 seconds, or until the peanut butter is melted, stirring once or twice as it heats.
    4. In large bowl stir together spelt flour, baking soda, and salt.
    5. Wish the maple syrup and vanilla extract into the melted peanut butter. Stir until blended.
    6. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips.
    7. Using a large cookie scoop, drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly.
    8. Bake 15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown with crisp edges. Cool cookies 5 minutes on the cookie sheet.
    9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.

    🥄 Equipment

    A jar of chunky peanut butter.

    📖 Variations

      These look tasty!

      Does spelt flour add some nutritional value or what's the low-down?
      Is there a big taste difference?

      I'm tempted to try whole wheat flour, but maybe spelt flour is where it's at.
