Coconut Flour Cookie Bites Dairy Free

Allergy Information: Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Lactose Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian

Ingredients

• 60g Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
• 80ml maple syrup
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 60ml Coconut Milk or plant milk of choice
• 55g Coconut Flour
• 1/2 tsp. gluten free baking soda
• A pinch of Himalayan Salt
• 100g dairy free chocolate (I used 70% Lindt), roughly chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 175C, 325F, gas mark 3.
2. Line a small baking tray with greaseproof paper, or use some Lucy Bee Coconut Oil to grease the tray.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, eggs and Coconut Milk.
4. In another bowl, stir together the Coconut Flour, baking soda and Himalayan Salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined and smooth.
6. Fold in 75g of the chocolate.The batter should be fairly thick but still moist – if it appears too dry add a little extra Lucy Bee Coconut Oil.
7. Tip the mixture onto the baking tray and spread evenly – it needs to be about 1inch thick. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate pieces over the mixture.
8. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. To test if it’s done, use a knife to slice into it and if comes out with a few crumbs stuck to it, then the cookies are ready. NOTE: it’s important not to overbake this recipe, otherwise the cookies lose their chewy texture. I’ve found 20 minutes exactly usually does the trick!
9. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares and leave to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, before serving.

Enjoy!
