Ingredients
- 84g almond flour
- 67g rolled oats
- 20g finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 30g vegan dark chocolate
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tbs sea salt
- 73g organic brown sugar
- 60ml aquafaba (the brine in a can of chickpeas)

Using a separate bowl, whisk the aquafaba until light and fluffy before adding the almond butter, oil and vanilla (optional).
Then combine both mixtures until you get a firm, yet sticky dough.

Preheat oven to 176C and lightly grease a baking sheet with baking paper. Add the mixture (2 tablespoons per serving) and leave a 1-inch gap to allow for spreading – this should be enough for 12 cookies.

Bake for 10 minutes then increase the temperature to 190C and bake for a further 2-4 minutes.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes.

- 50g good quality cocoa powder
