Ready in 30 minutes | Makes 16 cookies
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour - we used Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free all purpose flour
1 stick room temperature vegan butter (1/2 cup)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 tsp milled chia seeds
6 Tbsp plain almond milk or plant milk of choice
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup vegan chocolate chunks - you can also use vegan chocolate chips
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Add all wet ingredients and brown sugar to a bowl and whisk together until smooth.
Add all dry ingredients and stir together until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in vegan chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout batter.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a 1/3 measuring to portion batter - gently roll into a ball with your hands then place on the baking sheet and gently press to flatten slightly. Place cookies about 2 inches apart. Recipe makes 16 cookies - you’ll need 2 full size baking sheets, or to cook in 2 batches.
Bake for 15- 18 minutes until slightly golden brown on the surface.
Allow to cool for five to ten minutes before serving and enjoy! Can be cooled and stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to a week.
