Ingredients
- 130 g Dairy-free butter
- 110 g Palm sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 g Oats
- 145 g Plain flour
- 300 g Dairy-free or dark chocolate
- 75 g Almonds roughly chopped
Toppings (Optional)
- 100 g Dairy-free chocolate
- 40 g Almonds finely chopped
Method
- Using an electric whisk, mix together your dairy-free butter and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Using a wooden spoon, fold in the oats and flour until well combined and it all holds together.
- Add your dairy-free chocolate and chopped almonds and mix well.
- Cover your mixture with a damp muslin or tea towel and leave to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- While your mixture is chilling in the fridge, preheat your oven to 190°C or Gas Mark 5.
- Remove your mixture and using a spoon, scoop out roughly 2 tbsp amounts that form small mounds/discs onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Leave at least a 1 inch space between cookies to allow for spreading.
- Place in the oven and bake for around 15 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Once cooked, leave to cool for 5 minutes.
Toppings
- Once your cookies have cooled you can decorate them if you wish.
- Melt your dairy-free chocolate by breaking it up and placing it in a heat proof bowl placed over a pan of hot water - ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Mix until melted.
- Finely chop your almonds.
- Drizzle your melted chocolate over your cookies and sprinkle the almonds on top. Leave to cool and then they’re ready to eat!
