INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup of buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup of vegan protein powder, either pea protein or brown rice protein (no sugar or preservatives added!)
- 1 tbsp of organic virgin cold pressed coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract (sans alcohol)
- A pinch of baking soda
- 2 tbsp of organic ground flax
- 1 tsp of organic chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder
For the Cacao Sauce:
- 4 tbsp of organic virgin coconut oil, melted
- 3 tbsp of raw organic cacao powder
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract (sans alcohol)
- Stevia (adjust to sweet tooth)
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients until well combined. The dough will be sticky and that’s normal.
- Using your hands, roll some of the dough in between your palms and make into a desired round shape. Slightly flatten cookies on a lined parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. Remove batch from cookie sheet and let cool.
- In the meantime, prepare cacao sauce!
- Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Place in fridge and allow to set and thicken a little. Don’t leave in the fridge for too long or else it will harden! Drizzle over cookies and enjoy!
