Ingredients and substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Almond flour - Fine, blanched almond flour is best for this recipe. I would avoid almond meal as the batter might get a bit gummy.
Unsweetened cocoa powder - Gives us that rich chocolate flavor. Cacao powder can be substituted but will have a stronger, more intense flavor.
Maple syrup - A natural sweetener that takes the place of brown sugar.
Olive oil - Instead of melted vegan butter, this pantry staple adds just the right amount of healthy fat.
Unsweetened almond milk - A tablespoon or two of non-dairy milk is all you need. Any kind of milk of the dairy-free variety such as coconut milk, rice milk, or soy milk will work here.
Organic cane sugar - Utilizing only a few tablespoons to give the edible dough that signature flavor and texture.
Vanilla extract - Little but mighty! I recommend a high-quality pure vanilla extract if possible, but not an ingredient to skip!
Dairy-free chocolate chips - Chunks, regular, or mini chocolate chips all work well. I often use EnjoyLife brand.

Storage

Helpful tips

- If the batter is too thick, add a little additional milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- If it is too thin, add a little additional almond flour at a time until the desired thickness is achieved.
