Topping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the ground almonds, cocoa powder and salt, and mix together.
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces, rolling each piece into a ball. Place onto the baking tray and squish down with a fork to flatten. Top with either a chocolate button, a square of chocolate and/or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes (depending on the heat of your oven), and cool before serving.

Notes

  • Nut-free – swap the almond butter for light tahini (sesame paste) or sunflower butter.
  • These cookies will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • They can also be made ahead and frozen; leave to defrost for 15 minutes before eating.

  1. Hi, if I use cacao instead of cocoa, would I need to tweak other ingredients – is cacao significantly more bitter than cocoa or the amounts could just be a direct switch and keep everything else the same? Thanks!

  2. These are WONDERFUL!! So quick and easy to make, delicious, and so nutritious – even my super fussy eater likes them! Brilliant protein snack for the whole family 🙂
