I have been vegan for a couple of years now. One of the main challenges, when you give up animal products, is finding vegan-friendly baked goods to replace the sweet treats you can no longer enjoy.
This is particularly difficult if you enjoy baking your own at home! I used to bake lots of cakes before I was vegan and I have to admit that since making the change I haven’t baked as much, but this recipe makes it very easy to whip up a batch of cookies with the added excitement of using green tea matcha powder in the mix.
Ingredients:
- 200g of Almond Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 30g Maple syrup
- 2 tsp Matcha powder
- 60g Vegetable oil
Method:
Start by preheating the oven at 180 °C – 350°F.
In a bowl mix together all your dry ingredients; almond flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir with a fork or spoon to combine.
Next, add the maple syrup and vegetable oil, with the help of a wooden spoon mix all together until you rich a smooth dough.
Then, add in the dark choco-chip, try to fold until the chocolate chips are combined but don’t overmix.
Line a baking sheet with baking paper, take a spoon of the matcha dough around 30gr to make the matcha cookies
Use your hands, to make flat the cookies by press down the top.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Be careful don’t overcook them. Let them cool down for 1-2 minutes. Transfer them to a place or bowl and your vegan matcha cookies are ready to serve.
Vegan Matcha Cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for about 4 days. If you wish you can freeze the dough.
