I know that I’ve been posting a lot of chocolate recipes lately, but in my house Valentine’s Day requires a lot of chocolate; it’s the way to my husband’s heart!
Since I posted the 2 Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes, I’ve been thinking about making the Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies With Almond Flour with chocolate; tonight I made them, and they were a perfect Valentine’s Day treat!
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
- 2 cups Almond Flour (I used Blue Almond from Costco)
- ¼ cup Namaste Gluten Free Perfect Flour Blend
- ½ cup vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup organic pure maple sugar (I bought Coombs Family Farms Maple Sugar at Fresh Thyme)
- ½ cup organic coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons egg replacer + 4 tablespoons warm water (I used Ener‑G Egg Replacer – it’s available at Whole Foods, Fresh Thyme and Amazon) – If you aren’t vegan or allergic to eggs you can use 1 egg + 1 egg white
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips + ¼ cup chocolate vegan chips set aside (Use Lily’s Baking Chips to make a sugar-free Paleo cookie since they are sweetened with stevia, or Enjoy Life chips to make them vegan)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon Redmond’s Real Salt
- ½ banana
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease cookie sheet and set aside.
- Combine flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and Redmond’s Real Salt in small bowl.
- Prepare your egg replacer (take 3 teaspoons egg replacer, 4 tablespoons warm water, and mix until it thickens).
- Beat butter, sugars, and vanilla in large bowl until creamy.
- Add Ener‑G Egg Replacer
- Gradually mix in dry ingredients.
- Mash the 1/2 banana.
- Add the banana and continue to mix until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoons of dough on a lightly greased cookie sheet. I used a knife to get the dough out of the tablespoon. because they were very sticky, and then gently smoothed the top. If you don’t smooth the top – they will look jagged.
- Bake for 14 – 15 minutes until they are browned and firm to the touch. (I baked them for 15 minutes)
- Cool for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Put ¼ cup of chocolate chips in a glass bowl and microwave for 30 second increments stirring in between sessions until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over cookies.
- Makes ~2 dozen cookies
I love cookies and these ones look very yummy! Great recipe, keep it up xxx
