Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies
$1.77 Recipe/$0.30 Per Cookie
Air fryer peanut butter cookies are easy to make, crispy on the outside and soft in the center and so delicious! Just 4 ingredients and 20 minutes, these small batch vegan peanut butter cookies are perfect for weeknight sweet cravings or snacking!
Cut holes in parchment paper cut to fit your air fryer basket or use parchment paper specifically for your air fryer with holes already cut.
In a bowl add the maple syrup and peanut butter. Stir well to fully combine.
Add the oat flour and baking powder to the peanut butter mixture. Stir well until fully combined. It will look like it is too much flour at first but it's not, I promise.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time. Roll it in a ball and flatten it in your palm or on a flat surface. Transfer to the air fryer.
Once all the cookies are in the air fryer, bake at 315F for 8 minutes.
After baking, allow cookies to cool in the air fryer basket (out of the air fryer though) for at least 5 minutes, but 10 minutes is preferred.
Be sure to cut holes in the parchment paper or the paper will fly around in the air fryer and smash the cookies.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure the cookies are all the same size and bake evenly.
Flatten the cookies before baking. They do not spread out and will be raw if not flattened.
Be sure to give the cookies at least 5 minutes (10 is better) to cool after baking or they will fall apart when you pick them up.
Use natural peanut butter: This recipe was tested using natural peanut butter (only ingredient: peanuts). The recipe likely won't turn out the same if you are using a "no stir" peanut butter because it's not the same consistency.
Freeze the dough ahead of time and add 2 minutes to the baking time to account for the dough being frozen. If you choose to only make 1 or 2 cookies at a time from frozen, be sure to cut down your parchment paper to just fit the cookies or the paper can start to fly around in the basket from not being weighted down by dough.
Can you bake these gluten free peanut butter cookies in the oven?Yes! If you want to make a bigger batch, I recommend baking them in the oven instead. Simply double the recipe and bake the cookies in a 350F oven for 11 minutes. Allow to cool at least 5 minutes (10 minutes is preferred) before moving the cookies around as they are very fragile in the beginning.Storing leftovers
Fridge: These cookies will continue to dry out if left out on the counter for too long. Store cookies in an airtight container for 5 days.
Freezer: Transfer leftover cookies to a freezer safe bag and enjoy for up to 3 months. These cookies are higher in fat so are great right out of the freezer, no defrosting needed.
