Ingredients notes

Buckwheat flour – any buckwheat flour works in this recipe. Usually its dark in color and the outcome of the baked goods is darker comparatively.

Apples – red delicious apples does the justice to these cookies but Fuji apples also work here.

Flaxmeal – This works great as egg substitute and adds fiber and healthy fats to the recipe.

chocolate chips – any dairy free vegan chocolate chips work but I prefer using dairy free mini chocolate chips for my desserts.

How to make Apple Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Firstly, in a nonstick pan, I cooked apples with maple syrup and vanilla extract until the apples were soft. Then, I turned off the flame and kept it aside to cool down a bit.

Next, I blended the cooked apples along with its syrup in a blender until smooth and kept it aside.

Secondly, I soaked flaxmeal in water in a bowl and let it rest for sometime.

Then, I stirred in the blended apples into the soaked flaxmeal and kept it aside.

Next, in the same bowl, I combined buckwheat flour, baking powder and salt.

Then, I whipped it into a batter.

Thereafter, I folded in chocolate chips into the batter.

Afterwards, I scooped 12 round cookies on the prepared cookie sheet with the help of a medium sized cookie scoop.

Then, I roughly shaped them and baked in the middle rack of the oven at 400 degree Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.

Once done, I turned it off and took out of the oven and let them cool.

These came out so good and so flavorful, and we loved this Fall dessert.

They were absolutely melt in mouth with crisp bites and so good. To top it all its gluten free and hence fits into most diet types.

Expert tips

• Make sure to blend the apples along with its cooked syrup. Hence, scrape it all from the pan for the best results.
