Psst… wanna hear my secret to gluten free, grain free baking? Almond butter.
By removing the gluten protein from your baked goods, you’re missing out on the component that is responsible for binding the ingredients together. Which is why many gluten free cookie recipes end up yeilding a crumbly little mess of a dessert.
So throw some nut butter into that mixing bowl, and lets make these cookies stick together, eh?

Love it! Do u think almond butter would work?
Totally! I’ve made these same ones with almond butter and with sunflower seed butter. Sunflower seed butter is especially good.
I thought about mentioning that any ‘nut butter’ works, but the term ‘nut butter’ eeks me out a bit. 🙂
