Ingredients
1cupWhole Grain Flour
3/4cupSugar
50 gDark Chocolate
4tbspCocoa Powder
1/2cupCoconut oil
1tbspFlax Seeds grounded
100mlWater
1/4tspVanilla
1tspPeppermint extract
1/2tspBaking Soda
1pinchSalt
Instructions
Add 3 tablespoons of warm water to the flax seeds and let them sit for 5-7 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and chopped chocolate.
In a separate bowl, mix the liquid ingredients: melted coconut oil, soaked flax seeds, and peppermint extract. Then, combine this mixture with the dry ingredients. Tip: You can also add the liquid ingredients one by one directly to the dry mixture if that’s easier—it will still work!
Mix the dry and liquid ingredients together. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water. The dough should be pliable and shouldn’t stick to your hands.
Transfer the dough to a greased frying pan or baking tray. For stove cooking: Bake on the lowest heat with the lid on for 20-40 minutes. The longer it bakes, the more cookie-like it will become.For oven baking: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes on parchment paper.
Once the cake is done, let it cool slightly before removing it from the pan/baking tray. It may seem a little soft or even liquidy at first — that’s just the melted chocolate! Once it cools, the texture will set perfectly.
