Equipment

standard size muffin tin (12-count)

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 tablespoon whole psyllium husks
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar (or any light colored vinegar, or lemon juice)
1/4 cup chickpea flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons coconut sugar (see notes for options)
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon almond butter (see notes for options)
1/4 cup raisins (see notes for options)
2 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips (certified Vegan and GF, as needed)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with silicone liners (or grease/spray with nonstick cooking spray, if you eat some oil).
In a small bowl or cup, stir together the water, psyllium and vinegar until blended. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.
In a medium bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, salt and baking soda. Add the psyllium mixture, almond butter and raisins, stirring until blended and smooth.
Note: You can stir in chocolate chips at this point OR melt and drizzle them over pucks at the end.
Divide batter evenly between prepared cups, smoothing tops.
Bake in preheated oven for 23 to 26 minutes until centers are just set.
Cool in tin for 15 minutes and then remove from tin and cool completely on a wire rack.
If chips were not stirred into the batter, melt them according to package direction and drizzle over tops of bars.

Notes

Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for a week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Coconut Sugar Alternatives: Use an equal amount of the granular or liquid sweetener of your choice to replace the coconut sugar, For example, maple syrup, agave nectar, brown sugar, or natural cane sugar.

Raisin Alternatives: The raisins can be replaced with an equal amount of chopped chocolate, miniature chocolate chips, chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., walnuts, pecans, peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds), or other chopped dried fruit, such as dried cranberries or dried apricots.
