- 65 gr almond meal (or almond flour for a smoother/ less chunky cookie)(approx ¾ cup)
- 75 gr rolled oats (depending on your preference you can use just rolled oats, rolled oats + quick oats or even just oat flour... I used 45 gr (½ cup) oat flour + 30 gr (⅓ cup) quick oats)
- 60 gr (dark vegan) chocolate chips (approx. ⅓ cup)
- 20 gr desiccated coconut (approx. ¼ cup)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 25 gr organic brown sugar (or use coconut sugar)(approx. ⅓ cup)
- 1/4 cup aquafaba (liquid of a can of chickpeas)
- 12 gr coconut oil (melted)(3 tbsp)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
In a large mixing bowl mix almond meal, chocolate chips, oats, baking powder, salt and organic brown sugar. Set aside
In a separate mixing bowl beat aquafaba using a hand mixer until light, fluffy and loose peaks have formed (add a bit of cream of tartar if aquafaba doesn't stiffen up)
To the stiff aquafaba add coconut oil and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Then add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. It should be a firm, kind of tacky dough
Preheat oven to 375F/190C
Chill for 30 minutes or immediately scoop out 1 1/2tbsp of dough and place on a with parchment paper lined baking sheet and lightly press each scoop down. There should be around 10 cookies.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or unti edges are golden brown
