Recipe: Vegan chocolate chip cookies

These heavenly healthy vegan chocolate chip cookies are dairy-free and free of eggs and added sugar. They are completely vegan. Yay!

The only sugar in the cookies is that which is in the chocolate chips. Note: the coconut oil is essential in this recipe. I tried making these cookies entirely oil-free, which would have been even healthier, but they taste like rubber (seriously). You might as well eat your mouse mat (if you still have one).

Anyway, after 839572 failed attempts I found the perfect recipe, vegan, and as healthy as I could think of. Try to use extra virgin coconut oil for this recipe as it’s the healthiest kind. Odourless coconut oil is a processed product with very little nutritional value.

I used very dark chocolate for this recipe with 85% cacao and white vegan chocolate with rice milk.

I used whole wheat flour for these cookies, but you can also use oats flour or spelt flour. You can also add chopped nuts if you want cookies with a bit more crunch. If you’re looking for a recipe for grain free chocolate chip cookies, why don’t you check out my peanut butter cookie recipe? They’re glutenfree!

Love, love, love these cookies and hope you will too!

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Sift the flour, baking soda en cacao powder in a large bowl. Set aside.
3. Melt the coconut oil and mix it with the apple sauce, vanilla essence and peanut butter in a small bowl.
4. Add the wet coconut oil mixture to the dry flour mixture and mix well until smooth.
5. Chop up the chocolate and add to the batter. Stir well with a spoon.
6. Put some parchment paper on a baking tray. Put a spoonful of dough on the tray per cookie (so about 16 spoons of dough) – make sure there is enough room between the cookies.
7. Use a spatula to flatten the cookies a bit. Do this again after they’ve been in the oven for about 7 minutes. The cookies need about 15 minutes of oven time, make sure you check on them from time to time. They may need 5 extra minutes depending on your oven. Leave them to cool before you eat them and save them in an airtight jar. You can also freeze them.
