Ingredients
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup applesauce (this is your egg replacement and can be purchased from the supermarket)
3/4 cup coconut sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp arrowroot (or Tapioca flour)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1 cup gluten free baking flour
3/4 cup blanched almond flour
Dark chocolate chips to taste (somewhere between 1/2 cup – 1 cup should be perfect!)
Method
- Add vegan butter (softened) to a mixing bowl.
- Add applesauce to the bowl and mix together by mashing with a fork.
- Add coconut sugar to the bowl and mix well with your fork.
- Add vanilla and mix well.
- Add arrowroot, baking soda and salt and mix well.
- Add cocoa powder and protein powder and mix again.
- Add melted coconut oil and mix well.
- Add gluten free flour (1/2 cup at a time) while continuing to mix.
- Add blanched almond flour and mix well until your cookie dough is thick and cookie-dough like.
- Store in fridge for at least an hour before baking.
- After the hour or so finishes, scoop out cookie dough into even-sized balls.
- Roll in between hands and gently flatten, placing them onto baking paper lined tray.
- Bake on 180C until slightly crisp around the edge. This happens very quickly! In The FitazFK oven, it takes 7 minutes every time. So, keep a close eye and don’t go very far!
- As soon as you take them out, they will slightly soften, especially around the centre, so allow them to cool for a few minutes before moving them. They will firm up during this time.
