Easy Single-Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (Gluten-Free & Vegan)
Looking for a quick, healthy treat that’s just the right size? This single-serve chocolate chip cookie recipe is perfect for when you need a single serving of indulgence without overdoing it. With just almond flour, almond butter, a flax egg, and mini chocolate chips, this cookie is not only delicious but also guilt-free. It’s gluten-free, vegan, and made with wholesome ingredients, making it a fantastic choice for a quick snack or a light dessert.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond flour – Adds a nutty flavor and soft texture, while being a great gluten-free option.
- 3 tbsp almond butter – I used American Dream Nut Butter for its rich taste and healthy fats.
- 1 flax egg – Made by mixing 1 tsp flax meal with 1 tbsp water. This acts as a binder and adds fiber.
- Mini chocolate chips – For that essential chocolate chip cookie taste.
- Flaky pink salt – A pinch enhances the sweetness with a delightful salty contrast.
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. The air fryer provides even baking and helps achieve a slightly crisp edge.
- In a small bowl, combine the flax meal and water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens into a flax egg.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, almond flour, and flax egg. The dough will be sticky, which is normal. Use your hands to ensure everything is well combined.
- Shape the dough into one large ball and press it down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. The parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Top the dough with mini chocolate chips and a sprinkle of flaky pink salt.
- Bake in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the center is set.
