Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon psyllium husks (ground finely)
  • 225 g vegan butter (I use Naturli or Miyokos because they brown, but most vegan margarines will work)
  • 170 g light brown sugar
  • 170 g dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoon plant milk (full-fat unsweetened)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 325 g plain white flour
  • 100 g dark cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 180 g dark chocolate (chopped into rough chunks - as always make sure it's vegan chocolate)
  • pinch flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160c
  • In a small bowl, combine the psyllium husks with the water. Set aside to thicken.
  • Place the vegan butter in a small saucepan over a medium/low heat until melted. If using one of the listed brands of butter or a brand which you know will brown, keep cooking until the butter foams and starts to smell nutty and picks up small brown flecks  - remove from the heat and make sure it’s not burnt! If your butter doesn’t brown, then just make sure it’s melted. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add the sugars, oat milk and vanilla followed by the melted/browned butter and thickened psyllium husks. Beat until pale (for a minimum of 5 minutes) on high speed.
  • While beating, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture. On low speed, beat until the flour is fully incorporated. Remove the bowl and stir in the chocolate chunks.
  • Line a cookie sheet with baking parchment and scoop out balls of cookie dough, a couple inches apart, making sure each one has a good amount of chocolate showing on top. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 16 minutes.
  • Once baked, allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Once cooled, ENJOY!
