Paleo & Vegan friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Paleo and vegan friendly chocolate chip cookies!


Ingredients:

  • 125ml Almond Milk
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds (I used ground flaxseed & goji berries)
  • 2 cups of spelt flour (they sell in Tesco)
  • 75g unsweetened cocoa powder sifted (I used cadbruys Bourneville, couldn't find raw cocoa)
  • 1 and a 1/4 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda (bread soda)
  • 125ml sunflower oil
  • 1 cup of granulated sweetener (Tesco brand stevia or sweetner)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 150-175g dark chocolate chips

Note: For the sweetener measurement you have to use the cup (American way) for measurement as the weights of sugar and sweeteners vary a lot! You can pick up cup measurements in most pound stores or TK Maxx!

Method:

  • Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celcius
  • Line two baking sheets with foil (yes foil trust me!)
  • Whisk together the almond milk and ground flaxseeds, leave it aside to thicken for a few mins
  • In another bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder and bread soda and whisk together
  • Add the sunflower oil, vanilla extract and sweetener to the flaxseed and milk mix and stir it thoroughly (it will thicken up)
  • Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mix, and stir to combine together. (don't worry if its too liquidy at this point, leave it for 5 mins and it thickens up!
  • Add in the chocolate chips and bind mix together
  • Take golf-ball size lumps of the dough and roll into a ball, place on the foil lined baking tray and flatten
  • Put in the oven for 7 minutes!
  • Take off the foil straight away, (don't worry they will stay together) and place on a wire tray

Voila! easy peasy and absolutely amazing!
