Allergy Information: Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Lactose Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 100g smooth peanut butter
- 75g Coconut Sugar
- 1 tbsp. Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 eggs
- 35g Coconut Flour
- 1/2 tsp. gluten free baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
- A pinch of Himalayan Salt
- 20g peanuts, roughly chopped
- CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE, optional
- 1 tsp. Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 tsp. Cacao Powder
- 1 tsp. icing sugar
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170C, 325F, gas mark 3 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Whisk together the peanut butter, Coconut Sugar, Lucy Bee Coconut Oil and eggs in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, sift together Coconut Flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of Himalayan Salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, whisking well until fully combined. Stir the chopped peanuts into the mixture and leave to stand for 5 minutes (it will become firmer as it stands).
- Divide the mixture into 8 balls and place onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hands and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden. They will be slightly soft to the touch, but will firm up once cooled, on a wire rack.
- For the chocolate drizzle, blitz all ingredients together and pour over the cooled cookies.
Enjoy!

Lucy & the family
A family story, rooted in gluten-free cooking
Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.
These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
