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!
