Dessert with a delightful after effect.
Everyone loves dessert, but we often try to limit how much of it we allow ourselves to consume. Desserts are typically packed with white sugar and little nutrition. But the baking sheet has turned – enter these delicious and nutritious Vegan Chocolate Cookies made with almond flour and cannaflour for an extra boost if you choose.
Cannaflour is exactly what you are thinking it is – a cannabis “infused” flour. Cannaflour can be made by combining dried cannabis flower, ground very finely to any flour of your choice. Cannaflour can be used to make your own edibles at home, allowing you to regulate how much active ingredient is being used. To make your own cannaflour at home, first decarbonize your cannabis (bake it in the oven 40 minutes, rotating every ten minutes, at 115 degrees on a baking sheet, remove and allow to cool), then grind your cannabis until super fine a food processor or blender. Combine ground cannabis to flour of your choice and store in a dark, dry place. (2:1 ratio of flour to cannabis).
These vegan cookies are low in carbs but high in flavor. Made with melted chocolate chips and vanilla extract, these cookies are the perfect dessert option for those looking to limit sugar but enjoy something sweet. If you don’t wish to use cannaflour in your recipe, substitute with two extra tablespoons of almond flour. In addition, if you want to add a little extra therapeutic effects to your cookies, add one dropper full of your favorite CBD oil to the wet ingredients in step two of the instructions.
