Healthyish Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie (Vegan)
A healthyish, gooey, single-serve chocolate chip cookie made with maple syrup and whole wheat flour - which happens to be vegan! You mix everything up in the dish you're going to bake in so there's minimal cleanup.
Servings 1 cookie
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp coconut oil or neutral oil (or butter, if not vegan)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup, golden syrup or agave syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp flaky salt , (plus more for sprinkling)
- 1/8 tsp baking powder or bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp + 2 tsp whole wheat flour
- 1 to 2 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (vegan if needed. I go for 70% cocoa)
Instructions
- Put the first 3 ingredients into a ramekin/any small oven proof dish thing. Put onto a baking tray and then into an oven which is preheating to 350°F (180°C), for 1 minute (just so the coconut oil melts).1 1/2 tsp coconut oil or neutral oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar, 1 tbsp maple syrup, golden syrup or agave syrup
- Add the vanilla, salt, baking powder, and flour - stir in (easier if your ramekin/dish has high edges. If it's too hard to mix, just pour the contents into a small bowl, mix and smooth into the ramekin/dish).1/4 tsp vanilla extract, 1/8 tsp flaky salt, 1/8 tsp baking powder or bicarbonate of soda, 2 tbsp + 2 tsp whole wheat flour
- Smooth the dough in the dish and scatter over the chocolate chips, pressing them in slightly. Sprinkle on some fleur de sel and bake for 7-10 minutes, until golden brown but still squidgy in the centre. Eat while still warm.1 to 2 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Notes
- MAKE AHEAD: You can make the cookie dough and leave it (covered) in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking (it improves the flavour too, as we well know!)
- If using a neutral liquid oil instead of coconut oil or butter, you can skip the melting-in-the-oven step.
- You can safely reduce either the sugar or maple syrup by 1 or 2 tsp, it just won't be as soft or sweet (I like the dough sweet because I use really bitter chocolate)
