Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup of homemade pecan-almond butter
- 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3/4 cups of rolled oats
- 1-2 tablespoons DIY chai spice blend
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pecan almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix until it creates a smooth, velvety base.
- Add the dry ingredients: rolled oats, chai spice mix, chia seeds, baking soda, and walnuts. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop, form cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork or your hand creating the perfect cookie shape.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. This creates a chewy texture with crispy edges.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat, constantly mixing until smooth. Spoon a small amount in the center of each cookie.
- Allow your chai-spiced wonders to cool on a wire rack or the baking before indulging. Enjoy these cookies with a cup of coffee or a vegan chai latte, embracing the warm chai spices.
Notes
Keep these vegan chai-spiced cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. For a longer shelf life, refrigerate or freeze, ensuring you have the perfect treat ready whenever the craving strikes.
For a chewier cookie, let the chia seeds sit in the wet ingredients for a few minutes right after mixing.
Don’t overbake! The cookies may not look completely done and will be slightly soft when you take them out of the oven. But, the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Go easy on the spices and then taste the cookie dough before forming the cookies. Remember, you can eat this cookie dough and the spices are strong.
