Cooking Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Position the oven rack in the middle for even baking.

2. Line a large baking sheet (approximately 43 x 33 cm or 17 x 13 inches) with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (240 g) of almond flour, 1 cup (90 g) of gluten-free oats, 3/4 cup (150 g) of coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.

4. In a separate medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup (120 ml) of maple syrup, 1/2 cup (125 g) of natural nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Stir until smooth and well combined.

5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.

The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.

6. Fold in 1 cup (175 g) of dark chocolate chips and optionally, 1/2 cup (60 g) of chopped nuts, until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden.

The cookies should puff up slightly but still appear like soft mounds.

9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

This will help maintain the chewy texture.

10. Optional: For added depth of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the cookies while they’re still warm.

11. Once cooled completely, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.

Enjoy your chewy vegan and gluten-free cookies!

Tips on plating and presentation

While baking delicious cookies is rewarding, presenting them beautifully can elevate the experience even further.

I love using colorful plates or rustic wood boards for a charming touch. Adding a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate instantly enhances the look.

For an extra pop, include fresh fruit or edible flowers. These simple details make all the difference!

What other dishes can I pair it with?

To create a delightful spread, I often pair my chewy vegan and gluten-free cookies with complementary dishes that enhance their flavors.

Fresh fruit, like strawberries or sliced peaches, adds a revitalizing touch. A scoop of coconut or almond-based ice cream makes for a delicious contrast, while a simple nut mix offers a satisfying crunch.

Together, these pairings make for an unforgettable treat table!
