This #meatlessmonday recipe was inspired by the E2 Chocolate Chunk Cookies from the Engine 2 Diet. I changed a few things around and added a few ingredients (including my favorite ingredient- COFFEE!) and voila! Little (well, not so little really) puffy pillows of perfection! And as a bonus, they are under 100 calories each :)

L2 Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients:

• Heaping 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 Tbsp ground Flaxmeal mixed with 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp Ener-G (egg replacer) mixed with 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond (or any non-dairy) milk
• 1/4 cup coffee (cold or at room temperature)
• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup PB2 (I used 1/4c regular PB2 and 1/4c chocolate PB2)
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• a few dashes of sea salt
• 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips/chunks (I used 1/2 cup each- Enjoy Life mini chips and Enjoy Life chocolate chunks)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Combine all ingredients from the applesauce to the coffee in one bowl
3. Combine ingredients from flour to salt in another bowl
4. Slowly mix together the dry with the wet
5. Add the chocolate chips, stir.
6. Drop spoonfuls of batter (it will be a weird sticky goo but that’s okay!) onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
8. Enjoy (with a fresh steaming cup of coffee :))
