Notes
*You may use any nut or seed butter here! Peanut butter, almond butter, tahini, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.
Make it Nut Free: Use a seed butter like tahini (sunflower seeds) or sunflower seed butter.
Make it Gluten Free: Use gluten free all-purpose flour.
Make it Vegan: Use vegan stick butter, and substitute 6 tbsp aquafaba or 2 flax eggs (5 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water, let sit for 10 mins) for the 2 eggs. Disclaimer, I haven’t tried this, but it should work well!
