Nutella Ginger Cookies

12/14/2020

I mean it's the holidays right. Why do we need an excuse to make some decadent cookies on a Monday night? We don't! So, that's what I did. I made some fun Nutella ginger cookies. These cookies barely have any additional sugar. I added some spice to balance out the sweetness of the Nutella. Super easy, soft, and yummy cookies. Added bonus? A super easy recipe to make with your little ones. My niece and I had a blast making these together with a low commitment situation. Perfect for pre-bedtime!

I hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Ingredients:

1 stick butter
1/4 cup caster or white sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp Nutella (or any hazelnut spread of your choice!)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 flax eggs (1 tbsp flax meal to 3 tbsp water per egg)
1 tsp baking powder
4 tsp ginger powder (feel free to add more if you like a little extra punch)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2.5 cups flour
5 oz. dark chocolate chunks

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the butter on the stove.
In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar. Mix well until all of the sugar is incorporated.
Mix in the Nutella. Mix super well until everything is nice, creamy, and smooth.
In a separate bowl, make your flax eggs. Mix the flax and water together and allow the mixture to become gelatinized a little.
Slowly add in the vanilla and the flax eggs. Again, keep mixing until nice and smooth.
Next mix in the baking powder, nutmeg, and ginger.
Slowly add in the flour and make sure it's fully incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks.
Roll into small bowls, grease a tray, and pop them into the oven!
Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the bottoms are slightly golden.
I sprinkled a little turbinado sugar on top for a little crunch and sparkle! Totally optional. ;)

Enjoy with a glass of milk by the fire. Nothing more satisfying this time of year.

Vegan Chocolate Cake

The classic, delicious, chocolate cake. Easy to come by, difficult to create the moist, decadent, fluffy texture we all seek. But, I think I've done it. I don't wish to belabor the point. Chocolate cake is good. This one is delicious.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour (As a note, I always use organic, unbleached, unprocessed flour. If you can find a whole grain one, even better!)
1/4 cup oat flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup monk fruit sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
7 tablespoons oil (Sunflower oil is our cooking oil of choice, so is the most readily available in our home)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
Walnuts
Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 13-inch cake pan with parchment paper and grease.
Sift the all purpose flour, oat flour, and cocoa powder into a bowl.
Add in both sugars, salt, and baking soda. Combine well to maintain a clump-free powder.
Slowly incorporate the oil, and again try to mix in to the best of your ability.
Next add in the vanilla extract and white vinegar.
Slowly stir in the water, 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture will be a little bit more liquid-y than you are used to. That's okay! :)
Pour the batter into the cake pan.
Top the batter with as many walnuts and chocolate chips as you like.
Bake cake for 30-40 minutes (depending on strength of your oven). Your toothpick should come out clean.
Once your cake is done, transfer onto a cooling rack or the final plate. Allow your cake to cool.
Finally, top with more walnuts & chocolate chips (as many as you want!!!).
Dust with powdered sugar.
Serve with your favorite scoop of ice cream!
Devour and enjoy.
