Hot Chocolate Cookies [vegan, gluten-free]
Hot chocolate meets a cookie. Rich, chocolatey base topped with toasted vegan marshmallows and extra melty chocolate. Vegan, gluten-free and delicious.
Servings: 8 -10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups oat flour
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup pecan butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1/4-1/3 cup mini vegan marshmallows
- 2 tbsp mini vegan chocolate chips
- optional
- 1-2 tsp non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F while you prepare the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk oat flour, cacao powder, coconut sugar, flax seeds, baking powder and salt.
- Add pecan butter, maple syrup and vanilla.
- At this point, the dough should be moist enough to fold in chocolate chips and marshmallows. If not, add non-dairy milk by the teaspoon.
- Finally, fold in chocolate chips and marshmallows.
- Roll 1 1/2 tbsp of dough into balls and press down onto a lined baking tray. Make the cookies a little larger than you normally would, so that each cookie gets enough chocolate + marshmallow goodness.
- Bake for about 10-11 minutes, until tops of cookies are golden and marshmallows are lightly toasted.
