Chocolate Cookies with Peanut Butter Cream

Peanut has never belonged to my my favorite flavours. I remember when I was a child and my siblings ate their Snickers bars and I almost hold my nose since the smell was so off-putting. Well, little I knew since the desensitiazion didn’t end to childhood! Last nine years I´ve been witnessed my hubbys love for roasted and salted peanuts and almost everything that includes those tiny beans.

During these years I´ve been used to the smell of peanuts and I´ve even tasted those in many situation. The truth is that we are not the best friends still, but I´ve started to like peanuts and peanut butter in some recepies. And this recipe is one of those!

These chocolatey banana cookies are naturally gluten-free and baked in oven. Cookie base contains gluten-free oat flour (which is easy to make yourself, just blend rolled oats in your blender until you have smooth flour!).

The peanut butter cream is super easy to make and delicious with cookies or without the cookies. I used to this recipe Meridians roasted and salted peanut butter. Normal peanuts have many times very bad quality (and taste as well) so I prefer you to choose always organic quality.
