Vegan Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I was originally writing this blog post from Miami, BUT for some reason the post just fully got deleted?? Very strange. Anyway, now I'm back home in Toronto, in the freezing cold, not prepared for this winter and ready to bake up a batch of warm, chewy cookies.

I made this recipe a while ago but waited to share it, since I felt like all I was posting on here was cookie (not entirely untrue). But here they are! They're reminiscent of those classic peanut butter cookies that I used to love, but made a bit healthier.

These little gems are studded with dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkle of flakey sea salt (always). They're also:
Vegan
Gluten- and grain-free
Naturally sweetened with coconut sugar
Super quick + easy to make
Highly adaptable! You can also just use oat flour or all-purpose rather than the almond flour if that's what you have. Same goes for subbing coconut sugar with regular brown sugar! Totally up to you

Vegan Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup smooth natural peanut butter (can also replace half with tahini for a delicious/complex flavour!)
⅔ cup coconut sugar
1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water or almond milk
2-3 tbsp almond flour (or preferred flour)
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup chopped dark chocolate chunks (or chips)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line or grease a baking sheet.
Mix together your flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let set in the fridge for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and coconut sugar vigorously for 1-2 minutes, until very smooth and creamy. Add in your flax egg and vanilla and whisk to combine.
Add your almond flour, sea salt and baking soda and stir to incorporate everything. Fold in the chocolate.
Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to form 12 cookies on your sheet. Flatten each one slightly with a fork. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 12 minutes or until slightly browned and set. Let cool and enjoy!
