Chewy Chia Chocolate Cookies
Perfectly moorish healthy chocolate cookies that are the perfect afternoon treat and vegan and paleo friendly!
Ingredients
- 100 g almonds
- 3 tbsp ground linseed/flaxseed
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 5 medjool dates
- 3 tbsp cacao
- 1 tbsp scoop of coconut oil
- 120 ml water
- 1 - 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c.
- In a food processor blend the almonds until they are fine.
- Add the other ingredients and blend until a sticky dough is formed.
- On a greased tray place a tbsp of the dough. Try to flatten it with your spoon - it is very sticky and I like thick cookies - so see the notes if you want thinner ones.
- Place in oven for 20 mins or until slightly crispy on top.
- Allow to cool and best eaten within 2-3 days.
Notes
I like eating the straight from the fridge.
I used raw cacao for this recipe - I have not tried it with normal cocoa but I am guessing 2-3 tbsp of cocoa should be enough.
Feel free to use organic butter instead of coconut oil and any other nut (pecan would be FAB) instead of almonds. Adapted from Deliciously Ella
