WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Combine the ground chia seeds and water in a bowl and allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 360°F/ 180 °C and line a baking sheet  with parchment paper.

STEP 1

Add the nut/seed butter to the bowl and mix/whisk until combined.

STEP 2

Then add the coconut sugar and salt and stir again.

STEP 3

Next, add the ground sunflower seeds (or almond flour) and desiccated coconut. Stir until well combined.

STEP 4

Finally, add the vanilla extract and dairy-free chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate chunks) and fold in with a spoon. The dough should be slightly sticky – that’s normal.

STEP 5

Bake the cookies in the oven for between 12-15 minutes. When freshly baked, they will still be slightly soft. However, they will firm up once cooled.

STEP 6

These cookies made with coconut sugar are wonderfully moist and soft, though, with a nutty, caramelly flavor through the  addition of healthy nut/seed fats.
