Ingredients

2 cups cauliflower florets
1/4 cup whole ground flax meal
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

In your sauce pan boil water. Then, place cauliflower florets in your steamer basket and put it in the saucepan. Then, cover and let it steam for a few minutes or until cauliflower softens.
Thereafter, take out the steamer basket from the boiling water and let cauliflower florets cool down completely.
In the meanwhile preheat oven at 375 degree Fahrenheit and prepare a cookie sheet with a greased parchment paper.
Now, in your food processor combine all the ingredients including the steamed cauliflower.
Then, process it for few seconds until well combined. (Do not over grind the batter).
Lastly, fold in chocolate chips.
Now, with a cookie scoop place the cookies on the prepared cookie sheet with ¼ inch gap between each cookie.
Then, place the cookie sheet in the middle rack of the oven and let it bake for 35 minutes.
Take out the cookie sheet and let it cool completely. (The cooling may take about 20 minutes). If not cooled properly the cookies may crumble.
Lastly, with the help of a spatula ease out the cookies from the cookie sheet and place them on a plate or storage box. Just make sure to place the baked cookies separately so they don’t stick together.

Notes

These cookies are soft cake like texture. Therefore, handle these cookies with spatula and enjoy with a spoon/fork. If picking up with hands, be gentler.
Make sure to completely cool down the cookies before easing them out from the cookie sheet.
When you bite on the cookies the inside may look slightly wet but that is normal. It won’t taste raw and have delicious chocolatey flavor.
Feel free to store these cookies in the refrigerator in an air tight container for 2-3 days.
