Ingredients

1 1/2 cup almond flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup hempseeds
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (soaked in 1/2 cup warm water)
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, salt and hempseeds. Mix well so that there are no lumps. Feel free to rub this flour mixture with hands to remove any lumps.
In the same bowl of flour mixture, add soaked flaxseed meal, maple syrup, vanilla extract and whip it into a thick dough like batter.
Fold in chocolate chips and mix only once or twice. (Do not overmix).
Place an exact shaped parchment paper in the air fryer basket and scoop 6-9 cookies in it with a medium sized cookie scoop. Make sure to leave little gaps between each of them. With the back of a spoon, roughly press and shape them round. (Do not flatten them too much).
Attach the basket to the air fryer and turn it on at 300 degree for 11 minutes. Once done, detach the basket and let them cool for 5-7 minutes without disturbing. As they firm up, shift the first batch to the cooling rack. Now, air fry the second batch following the exact steps of first batch. Let the second batch also cool down completely. (Overall the cooling process will take roughly about 20 minutes). Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe makes 12 cookies and the serving size is 1 cookie per person.
I used plant based chocolate morsel for this recipe you may use any semi sweet vegan chocolate chips.
This recipe has to be made in 2 batches. Let the batter of the second batch stay at the room temperature while air frying the 1st batch.
If in the second batch there are 3 cookies to be cooked then air fry for 10 minutes.
How to store:
1. Refrigerator - once they are completely cooled at room temperature, refrigerate them in an air tight container in a single layer for 3-4 days. Enjoy them cold or oven toast for 1 minute and cool.
2. Freeze - Once they are completely cooled at room temperature, place them in a single layer in a Ziploc bag and freeze for about 2 months. Oven toast for 2-3 minutes, cool and enjoy.
