INGREDIENTS FOR THIS VEGAN COOKIE CAKE RECIPE
Here you will find the main ingredients I used for this giant chocolate chip cookie and some alternative ingredients to replace them if you prefer to bake a gluten-free cookie cake.
DRY INGREDIENTS
- Flour: I prefer to bake with self-raising flour, but you can use purpose flour with baking powder and sodium bicarbonate as a raising ingredient. Flour a gluten-free option: gluten-free flour, oat flour, coconut flour, and almond flour. Furthermore, you can use just one type of gluten-free flour or a mix of them. In addition to this, you can add starch, such as cornstarch to your gluten-free cookie cake.
- Sugar: I used white granulated sugar to make this easy cookie dough; however, you can try other types of sugars that you prefer or are the ones you have at home. For example: brown sugar, powdered sugar, demerara sugar, etc. Additionally, you can use maple syrup and agave.
- Chocolate: as a vegan cookie cake recipe I used dairy-free chocolate chips, in this case dark chocolate chips (around 75 gr). and it goes well with this easy dessert. Also, you can use other vegan chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips. If you don’t have chocolate chips at home when making this recipe you can cut in small cubes a dark chocolate bar.
WET INGREDIENTS
- Egg replacement: for this recipe, I used peanut butter to replace the egg, it’s not only great as an egg replacement when baking a vegan recipe, but it also gives a nutty flavor to this cookie cake. Also, you can use almond butter; if you prefer a nut-free cookie cake, you can use seed butter; such as pumpkin and sunflower seeds butter. This is also a good alternative if you have nut allergies. Other vegan options to replace eggs when baking are apple cider vinegar and flax egg.
- Milk: I used oat milk for this recipe, but you can also use soy milk, almond milk, or cashew milk. Bear in mind, that if you want a gluten-free cookie cake and you are using oat milk double-check that it is gluten-free.
