Questions about 3 Ingredient Cookies (Paleo)

Do I have to use peanut butter?

No, you can absolutely sub peanut butter and use any nut butter. I typically make these 3 ingredient cookies with either cashew butter or sun butter since I personally can’t do peanut butter. Any nut butter should do fine.

What type of peanut or other nut butter should I use?

Because the bananas add moisture to the recipe, I would not use a very drippy nut butter in this recipe. I have had a lot of success with Justin’s Peanut Butter and Justin’s Cashew Butter as well as Spread the Love Organic Peanut Butter.

Can I add any other ingredients?

I have topped them with mini Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (since these are Paleo-friendly chocolate chips). I’m sure you could mix in a few to the dough as well, or even put in a small handful of sunflower or pumpkin seeds if you desire. Of course they would no longer be 3 ingredient cookies, though;).

Do I not need any eggs?

Nope! This is an egg-free recipe.

Can I substitute the coconut flour?

Coconut flour is a grain free flour that is paleo friendly. I do not advise substituting the coconut flour as it does not work well subbing 1:1. If you were to use another flour, you would need to change the quantities.
