Paleo Brookies (Flourless Brownie-cookies)
A paleo-friendly recipe for brownie-esque dark chocolate cookies. Yes, these are gluten-free, dairy-free and free of refined sugar too!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy almond butter (Shaana uses the unsweetened almond butter from The Butternut Co)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar (alternatively, use monk sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (Shaana uses The Natural Vanilla Extract from Sprig Gourmet)
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips (dairy free or vegan, if desired)
- Sea salt, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the almond butter, coconut oil, coconut or monk sugar, vanilla and eggs; mix together until smooth.
- Roll cookie dough into balls (you can use an ice cream scoop to measure it) and place on baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball with your hands until they are about 1/4inch thick. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are firm but the centre is just about set. Do not over-bake these cookies or else they will become dry.
