Equipment

  • Muffin pan I used a mini muffin pan, see notes for regular sized.

Ingredients

Cookie dough

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (15 g) sub (plant) butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
  • 1 tbsp nut/seed butter (16 g)
  • drop of vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup flour (30 g) gf all purpose or oat flour if desired
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder omit if skipping baking

Chocolate Filling

  • 2 tsp nut/seed butter (10 g)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (7 g)
  • 1/2 tsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Combine the chocolate filling ingredients, set aside. If it seems too dry to spread, add a drop of water or more maple syrup.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease or line your muffin pan.
  • In a small bowl add coconut oil, microwave to melt. Add maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla, salt and mix until blended.
  • Add flour, baking powder and mix to combine into cookie dough. If too dry and crumbly, add a drop or two of water.
  • Add 1 heaping tsp cookie dough into each muffin cavity, top with 1 tsp chocolate filling, top with one more heaping tsp cookie dough to cover.
  • (Optional) sprinkle with some chocolate chips.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes until the edges are slightly golden brown. Cool and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use 1 tbsp any chocolate spread (like nutella) instead of making your own if you prefer.
  • These are sweet enough for snacks. If you want to make dessert out of this, add 1 tbsp sugar (or other granulated sweetener) to the cookie dough.
  • You can use a regular muffin pan and make 2-3 large cookie cups out of this recipe. Baking time will be roughly the same.
  • As I said, use oat flour and freeze these to set and avoid turning on the oven, they will be amazing!
