Print Pin

PB&J Thumbprint Cookies

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 10

Total Time 15

Servings 8

Suitable For 12m+

Ingredients

1 large banana (110g peeled weight)
150 g peanut butter (100% natural)
140 g wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp chia jam (or jam of choice)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180c/350f.
In a large bowl, mash the banana, then stir in the nut butter.
Add the flour and baking powder and stir to combine, then use your hands to knead into a large mass.
Pinch off around 1 tablespoon of the mix and roll into a ball in your hands, then flatten to around 0.5cm in thickness and place on a lined baking tray/sheet. Repeat for ~16 cookies.
Use your thumb to press a dent in to the tops of each of the cookies, if they spilt around the sides just gently press them back together.
Add 1/2-1 tsp of chia jam to each thumbprint hole.
Place in the oven and cook for 9-10 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
Allow to cool on the tray for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Storage

Store in an airtight container on the bench for 2 days, in the fridge for 5 days or freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes

You can make these nut free by substituting the nut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.

If your dough feels too dry add a splash of soy milk. If it is too sticky to roll the balls in your hand add 1-2 Tbsp of flour and check again.
