Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 TSP cinnamon
  • 2 TBSP vegan butter such as Earth Balance, melted
  • 2 TBSP almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 flax egg: 1 TBSP ground flaxseed + 3 TBSP water
  • 1/2 TSP vanilla extract
  • 1/2 TSP salt
  • 1/2 TSP baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
  • Combine the flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
  • In another mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup, melted butter and almond milk with an electric mixer on low. Add in the flax egg and mix again briefly.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones, and add in the chopped peanut butter cups. Mix together by hand just until combined.
  • Spoon the batter onto the baking sheet to form 18 cookies.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned.
  • Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to slightly cool before enjoying. Store in a sealed plastic bag.
