Eggless Honey Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe with step by step photos. These healthy cookies are refined sugar free and butter free.
These are made with whole wheat flour, wheat bran, flax seeds and peanut butter sweetened with wild honey.
They make a wholesome and nutritious breakfast cookie or snack.
All the main ingredients used are organic products from 24 Mantra Organic and you can read about all the goodness of going organic in their Organic Mantras initiative.
I made a fresh batch of Flax seed butter few days ago using 24 mantra organic flax seeds and after I made these Eggless Whole Wheat Bran Apple Muffins, I wanted to try out bran and flax seeds in a cookie recipe.
These cookies are slightly crisp around the edges and have a soft centre that is a delight to sink your teeth in. Tasted absolutely delicious with a glass of milk.
You can skip out the wheat bran if you do not happen to have on hand. I added dark chocolate chips and a handful of peanut butter chips that my friend shared with me
This is the first time I’m tasting peanut butter chips and they were soooo… good.
I have used creamy peanut butter here, but you can also use crunchy peanut butter and the peanut pieces in the cookie will add to the crunchiness of the cookie.

I have used cold pressed coconut oil to bake these cookies but if you do not want your cookies smelling coconutty, either use refined coconut oil or any other unflavoured vegetable oil.
These cookies tasted best when warm out of the oven, so I would recommend to microwave them for 1/2 second to warm them up before eating, not that they tasted bad when cold but nothing like a warm cookie.
