How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1 cup cashew butter (or smooth almond)
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chunks
- 3/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 eggs, at room temperature (vegan, Note 1)
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Very lightly spray 1 (8 or 9 inch) cast iron skillet (we like this one) with coconut oil.
- Step 2: Whisk the eggs in large bowl then add the cashew butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients: almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add 1 cup of the chocolate chips (reserve the rest for topping). It will make a thick batter.
- Step 3: Pour the batter into the pan, using a silicon spatula to spread it out evenly. Scatter the remaining chocolate chips over the top (you can also sprinkle a little flakey sea salt on top, if you're into that).
- Step 4: Bake for 30 to 36 minutes on the center rack. Turn the oven to broil and cook an additional 1 minute for a more golden top (keep an eye on it to avoid burning). Note: 30 minutes will yield a more gooey cookie, while 36+ minutes will be fluffier. Let cool on the countertop.
- Serve: Enjoy warm. This is epic with a scoop of ice cream.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: No eggs? This can also be made with flax egss with slightly less fluffy results. To make 3 flax eggs, stir together 3 tablespoons flax meal with 1/2 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes, or until it has thickened into a gel-like texture.
