Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1 cup wheat flour (you can substitute Almond Meal but I was out)
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
- 12 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 cup agave nectar
- 12 cup pure maple syrup
- 12 cup peanut butter
- 2 bananas (Freshly Smashed)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 12 cup hemp granola cereal
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chip chunks
- Preheat the oven to 350F; line light baking sheet with tin foil to prevent sticking.
- Place the sheet in the freezer for a few minutes.
- Note: If you are using a dark baking sheet, you will need to reduce the baking time as this will cause the cookies to bake faster.
- Combine the dry ingredients.
- In a separate container, mix the pure maple syrup, agave nectar, peanut butter, banana, banilla, and cinnamon.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient.
- Fold the granola and chocolate chunks into the mix.
- Place batter into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- The batter will be too sticky to roll, so I recommend using a tablespoon to spoon the batter onto the sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 15-17 minutes.
- Keep a close eye on them if you determine they aren't cooked completed after 15 minutes, as they will burn shortly thereafter.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes and place them onto a baking rack to complete cooling.
- The rack is important because the moisture content is high and the cookies will have an uncooked texture if the are not cooled in this manner.
- In between sheets, I recommend placing the baking sheet in the freezer for a few minutes.
- Also, I'd leave the batter in the refrigerator while baking to keep firm.
- Keeping the batter and baking sheet cool allows the cookies to rise.
- If you choose not to cool the batter and the sheet, the cookies will not rise but will spread out and you will have flat cookies.
- If you choose to use the batter at room temperature, I would reduce baking time to about 13-14 minutes.
