Directions
Healthy breakfast cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or nonstick silicone muffin cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa, flaxseed, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy milk, olive oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, chickpea liquid, and vanilla.
- Add the soy milk mixture to the flour mixture and mix until well blended.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin cup. Bake for 35 to 38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for five minutes before carefully transferring to a rack to cool fully. The muffins will firm up as they cool.
Salted chocolate frosting:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, cocoa, salt and cinnamon until well blended. Spread on cooled cupcakes and serve immediately or refrigrate until read to serve.
- The cupcakes will keep in a resealable container in the fridge for two to three days. Bring iced cupcakes to room temperature before enjoying for best flavour.
