These Vegan Hot Chocolate Cookies are soft and chewy with chunks of dark chocolate and gooey marshmallows. Made with better-for-you ingredients, they're gluten-free, dairy-free, and perfect for the holidays!
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, almond butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Fold in the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Mix until a dough forms.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread a little during baking. If desired, press a few mini marshmallows and chocolate chunks on top before baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set properly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for an additional 5 minutes. Enjoy!
I make my own oat flour by blending rolled oats or quick oats in a blender until a fine flour forms. You can also buy oat flour at the grocery store. Use certified gluten-free oats if necessary.
