Raw Nutter Butters, Vegan + Gluten-Free
Last week I posted a recipe for Raw Vegan Oreos and it was greeted with much excitement on social media. On Instagram I asked what other childhood favorite cookies people would like to see a healthy version of and I was blown away by all the suggestions!
One that stood out to me right away was Nutter Butter (you know I love anything peanut buttery) so I decided to get to work. My recipe for Raw Vegan, Gluten-Free Nutter Butters is super easy to make, totally good for you and super yummy. I added chocolate on top which you can feel free to omit if you’re a Nutter Butter purist but we all know that chocolate is always a good addition.
Veganizing and healthifying cookies and candies has been super fun so keep the suggestions coming!!

Instructions
- Prepare cookies by placing oat flour, dates, 2 tbs coconut oil, 2 tbs maple syrup and salt in blender or food processor. Blend until mostly smooth.
- On a clean surface (I use a piece of parchment paper) roll mixture out until it's about ¼" thick. Use a circular cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Transfer cookies to a plate and place in freezer to set.
- Prepare filling by blending peanut butter, coconut butter 2 tbs maple syrup and vanilla extract together.
- Remove cookies from freezer. Spread filling over cookies to create sandwiches. Set them back in freezer while preparing chocolate glaze.
- Mix together 2 tbs coconut oil, cocoa powder and 1 tsp maple syrup. Drizzle over cookies. Let harden in freezer for 15 minutes before enjoying. Store in refrigerator.
How cute and delicious!
Can any of these cookies be put in the dehydrator? If so, how long would you suggest?
I haven’t put them in the dehydrator but it could be worth a try if you want them to be more crunchy!
