Vegan/gluten free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅓ cup of almond butter
  • 3 tbsp of raw sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 140 g of oat flour (about 1½ cups)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup of chocolate chips, dairy free/gluten free (could be lessened to cut calories, fat, and sugar)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350, line baking sheets with Silpat (silicon baking mat) or parchment paper
  2. Beat applesauce, almond butter, sugar, and flaxseed in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add remaining dry ingredients, except chips, to a bowl and gradually add into the wet ingredients.
  4. Hand fold the chips into the batter
  5. Using a ice cream scooper or spoons, drop batter on sheets, and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.Make sure to flatten, as they won't spread out as much with the lower sugar amount.
  6. Bake for 10-12 mins
  7. Remove and let cool. Eat and enjoy! These are great frozen (I've even eaten them straight from the freezer!)
