How to make gluten-free and low FODMAP peanut butter cookies

These peanut butter cookies are super simple to make. They only contain 3 ingredients.

Normally, peanut butter cookies are often made with a lot of brown sugar and peanut butter, but I made a slightly healthier version.

With maple syrup instead of sugar and I also oat flour and peanut butter.

This way you get healthier low FODMAP peanut butter cookies that are still very tasty.

The ingredients

I used the following ingredients for the cookies:

  • Smooth peanut butter: normally I like to eat 100% natural peanut butter. This is the kind of peanut butter that you have to stir before you can use it. This type of peanut butter is less suitable for this recipe.
  • Maple Syrup: maple syrup is the sweetener I use in this recipe. Alternatively, you can also use rice syrup.

    Make sure you do not use honey or agave syrup if you are still in the elimination phase of the FODMAP diet. This contains a large amount of fructose and is therefore not low FODMAP.
  • Oat flour: I make this myself by grinding regular oats in the food processor. But you can also buy ready-made oat flour.

    For the FODMAP diet, it does not matter which oats you buy. Do you have celiac disease and do you have to eat strictly gluten-free? Then choose certified gluten-free oats.

Making this recipe is super simple. You mix all the ingredients together, let the dough rest in the refrigerator for a while, and then you shape it into cookies.

Ten to twelve minutes in the oven and then your healthy peanut butter cookies are ready! Bon appetit 🙂

Are these low FODMAP peanut butter cookies healthy?

These cookies contain a lot less sugar than classic peanut butter cookies, which often contain at least 200 grams of brown sugar.

But they are not low in calories. Peanut butter itself is quite high in calories and these cookies also contain maple syrup, which is also not low in calories.

A cookie contains 157 calories but is a bit more nutritious than peanut butter cookies that contain white flour and sugar. For example, a cookie also contains 4 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber per portion.

Whether these cookies are healthy is debatable, but they are more nutritious than classic peanut butter cookies.

    Hey Karlijn,
    Thanks for this recipe! Could you please add the amount of peanut butter in grams as well? I always find that measuring in cups tends to be confusing.
    Thanks!

      I am sorry, I usually add the amounts in grams as well but it looks like I forgot that here. I find measuring cups also very confusing, but I get a lot of questions to add the measurements in cups as well 😉
      I have now included the amount in grams.
