Ingredients
- 60g Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
- 80ml maple syrup
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 60ml Lucy Bee Coconut Milk
- 55g Lucy Bee Coconut Flour
- 1/2 tsp. gluten free baking soda
- A pinch of Lucy Bee Himalayan Salt
- 100g dairy free chocolate (I used 70% Lindt), roughly chopped
Method
- Preheat oven to 175C, 325F, gas mark 3.
- Line a small baking tray with greaseproof paper, or use some Lucy Bee Coconut Oil to grease the tray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, eggs and Lucy Bee Coconut Milk.
- In another bowl, stir together the Lucy Bee Coconut Flour, baking soda and Lucy Bee Himalayan Salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined and smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
