Vegan Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This was my first attempt at a cookie recipe on EWWD. I wanted to make a classic chocolate chip cookie but with “better for you” ingredients. I also wanted them to be lower in sugar and egg-less so I could shamelessly eat the cookie dough πŸ€— Made with almond flour, flaxseed, and peanut butter, these chewy (vegan & GF) chocolate chip cookies fit the bill.
⁣
They take almost no time to make, and only require one bowl so clean up is quick. My recipe is below. Let me know what you think if you make them! ❀️

Vegan Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

A classic but with better-for-you ingredients. These are uber chewy and delicious!

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 15

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 flax egg: 1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp warm water Mix together and let sit in the fridge for 15 minutes until the flax "gels" into a thick goop
  • 1/4 cup creamy NATURAL peanut butter Only ingredients should be peanuts & salt!
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar⁣
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil⁣
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract⁣

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour⁣
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder⁣
  • 1/4 tsp salt + flaky sea salt to top
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips I used Lily's Sweets to keep this recipe vegan and low sugar!

Instructions

  • Make your flax egg. See ingredients above.
  • In a large bowl, mix the egg, pb, maple syrup, coconut sugar, avocado oil, and vanilla together with a silicone or rubber spatula.
  • Add in almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. It's going to be a thick dough that you have to work and I find that a spatula really works best here!
  • Fold in chocolate chips. Again, use a little muscle!
  • Stick in the fridge for 15 - 20 minutes to chill the dough. This is important. Clean up a bit!
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment.
  • Use a cookie scoop to make dough into ~15 balls. Flatten them slightly with the back of your hand. You can top with a few extra chocolate chips and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Stick in the oven for 13-16 mins (give or take depending on your oven). Clean up some more. Let the cookies cool (this is KEY) so they can firm up and set. I recommend cooling for 10 minutes.
  • Note: because of the ingredients used, these cookies taste best stored in an air-tight container on the counter for 2-3 days and then in the fridge for 2-3 days thereafter. They also freeze really well and can easily be defrosted!

I'm obsessed with how soft & delicate these cookies are, thx to a blend of almond and coconut flours. There's just enough lemon to make them slightly tart but still sweet ☺️
⁣
Catch them this Saturday at my pop up at @fernbotanica 12-5PM 🌿 These babies always sell out so get there early or pre-order a box! πŸ’›πŸ˜˜
How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip coo How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip cookie? Asking for a friend ... πŸ˜†

I wasn’t planning on recipe testing these babies until later today but I woke up craving joy and baking brings me just that ❀️ Make sure you carve out time today just for YOU ... without a real agenda or plan or purpose. Just because it makes you smile 😊

Also, will report back on cookies. I really want to stuff them with ice cream and freeze them so they β€œset” like a proper ice cream sandwich!!🍦πŸͺ
I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up: comparison, restless brain, and success. Here's what I have for you ...⁣
⁣
1. Comparison is the thief of joy. Stop comparing!! You are unique, wonderful, capable, and SO amazing in your own right.⁣ ❀️
⁣
2. Don't believe everything you "think". Thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts are not facts. β£πŸ€”
⁣
3. You are confined only by the walls you build yourself. If you want to see change, grab your hammer & tear down those walls! YOU are in charge of your trajectory .. no one else.⁣ πŸ”¨
⁣
Also, unrelated, but here's your Monday reminder to check in on your peeps. Most everyone I've talked to in the past few weeks is going through some real tough stuff. Be that person that brings them a little levity and some love. And if you (safely) can, hug 'em tight! I love hugs lol.⁣ πŸ€—
⁣
Which resonates w you most - 1, 2 or 3?  Hope you all have a great week!!! πŸ’–

These cutie loaves are SO simple, fluffy, made with the best mix of flours (hi almond, hi oat), lightly sweetened, and packed with vegan chocolate chips! πŸ˜‹

Here's what you need:
β€’ 1 cup mashed banana ~ 2 large or 3 small 🍌 (overripe!) 
β€’ 2 eggs πŸ₯š

β€’ 1/4 tsp salt
β€’ 2/3 cup @enjoylifefoods choc chips 🍫

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your mini loaf tin (should make 7 loaves). Mash bananas in a bowl and mix in the wet ingredients - eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients - flours, BP, cinnamon, salt - and stir to combine. Fold in choc chips. Equally distribute among greased tins. Bake for 25 mins (or until toothpick comes out clean). Let cool and enjoy! πŸ’›
