Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tbsp natural almond butter (any natural nut or seed butter will work)
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, plus more for greasing
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg yolk (or 1 tbsp plant milk)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/8 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour (or oat flour for nut-free option)
- 1/4 cup (40g) dairy free semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping (optional)
For Serving
- Dairy free vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Place two 8-ounce ramekins on a baking pan and lightly grease the insides with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the almond butter, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the kosher salt and baking soda, followed by the almond flour. Stir to form a consistent dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in the dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Divide Dough and Shape: Divide the dough evenly between the two greased ramekins. Press and smooth the dough surface to ensure even baking.
- Top and Bake: Optionally sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Use 15 minutes for shallower ramekins or up to 18 minutes for deeper dishes.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool in the ramekins for 5-10 minutes to set. Serve warm topped with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- 8-ounce ramekins work best for individual portions; adjust baking time if using different sizes or deeper dishes.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour and use a seed butter instead of almond butter.
- If vegan, replace the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon plant-based milk.
- The cookies are best enjoyed warm with dairy-free ice cream for a perfect melty texture.
