Questions People Ask
Can I use peanut butter instead of almond butter?
Peanut butter works one for one and gives a more pronounced nut flavor. If you use natural almond butter, stir it well before measuring so the oil and solids are combined.
Can I make it without protein powder?
Yes, skip the protein powder and keep the full ¾ cup of almond flour for a classic chewy skillet cookie.
How do I store leftovers?
Cover the skillet or transfer slices to an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat a slice for about 10 seconds to bring back the gooey center.
Storage
Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat a slice in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften the center before serving.
