Healthy Vegan Chocolate Brownie Cookies
These Healthy Vegan Chocolate Brownie Cookies are fudgy and chewy with a dense texture from ground chia seeds acting as egg replacers. Melted vegan chocolate and coconut oil combine with coconut sugar, flour, raisins, and pine nuts to create a rich, plant-based treat. The cookies bake to a slightly domed top and soften as they cool.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds finely ground, or flax seeds
- 5 tablespoon water
- 1 c chocolate chips vegan
- 2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil coconut oil or mix of the coconut and olive oil, generic cooking oil
- ½ c coconut sugar
- ½ c all-purpose flour whole wheat pastry flour can also be used
- ¾ c raisins
- ¼ c pine nuts
Instructions
Make chia "eggs"
- Preheat the oven to 360 F and line a large baking tray with a parchment paper.
- In a small bowl combine ground chia or flax seeds and water. Give it a stir and set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes gel-like.
Cup of Yum
Melt chocolate
- Meanwhile, add chocolate chips to a large bowl and melt in a microwave in 15 seconds intervals until chocolate melts, about 70 seconds total. Whisk until smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredients
- In a bowl with melted chocolate chips add oil, sugar, flour and chia "eggs". Stir until combined. Fold in raisins and pine nuts and mix just until combined.
Bake
- Drop a heaping teaspoon of the batter on a baking sheet, flatten it slightly with a back of a spoon. The cookie dough will have a texture of a thick brownie batter. Bake at 360 F for 11-14 minutes or until the tops of the cookies are slightly domed.
Enjoy
- Remove the vegan chocolate brownie cookies from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and cool.
Notes
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking tray before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store at room temperature for 4-5 days; uncovered for crisp edges, airtight for chewiness.
- Freeze fully cooled cookies up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Substitute flax seed gel for chia gel, or use applesauce noting a slight acidity.
- Try alternative nuts or dried fruits to vary texture and flavor.
- Use pastry or spelt flour for a healthier variation.
