Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Dry:

• 1 cup (128g) hemp flour
• 1/2 cup (58g) hemp seeds
• 3 tablespoons (21g) cacao powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan salt

Wet:

• 3 tablespoons (21g) agave
• 1/4 (50g) cup of water
• 1/8 (1g) teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Method

Preheat oven to 170 C˚.

Add the dry ingredients to mixer: hemp flour, hemp seeds, cacao powder, baking soda, salt and process until everything is broken down evenly.

Add the wet ingredients: Agave, apple cider vinegar, and water and process until everything is combined. You should have a sticky batter that’s not really pour-able.

Scoop out the batter one tablespoon at a time and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can leave them as balls, or using a wet spoon, slightly press down to form a cookie shape. The dough will be very sticky so make sure to wet the spoon as needed.

Bake at 170 C˚ for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before serving.
