Notes
Tiger Nut Products: If you are in Estonia, I highly recommend Jahuhunt for the flakes and flour. Use my code nutriplanet for 10% off.
Freshly Baked Goodness: These cookies are at their best when freshly baked. If you have leftovers, freeze them and reheat in the oven or microwave for that just-out-of-the-oven feel. Avoid storing them on the counter as they may dry out.ย If you do leave them out, microwave for 10 seconds before eating to restore the softness.
Black Beans: If youโre out of black beans, red kidney beans work just as well and provide a similar texture.
Peanut Butter: Substitute with almond butter, cashew butter, tahini, or sunflower seed butter. Keep in mind that tahini and sunflower seed butter are less sweet, so you may want to adjust the sweetener.
Date Sugar: Coconut sugar is a great alternative that wonโt compromise the flavour or texture.
Oat Milk: Any plant-based milk works here! Almond, soy, or cashew milk are excellent choices. If using a less sweet milk, adjust the sweetener accordingly.
