    These vegan nutty chocolate cookies are made with einkorn flour, which gives them a nice texture and light flavor. Extra-virgin olive oil adds a subtle and seductive charm. See more about einkorn wheat, the oldest form of cultivated wheat which is higher in protein and lower in gluten than today’s highly hybridized wheat. Photos by Evan Atlas.

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups einkorn flour see note
    • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ½ cup natural granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ cup applesauce
    • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • ⅓ cup very finely chopped walnuts
    • Walnut halves as needed optional
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
    • Combine the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until completely blended together.
    • Make a well in the center and add the applesauce and olive oil. Stir together to form a stiff batter.
    • Work in the chopped walnuts.
    • With clean, floured hands, form into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and flatten each lightly with your palm.
    • If you’d like, press a walnut half into each cookie.
    • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms are just starting to turn golden. Don’t overbake, as these crisp up a bit as they cool.
    • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then carefully transfer to a plate.

      Yum! These look incredible. I've never heard of einkorn wheat so thanks for introducing me to a new product! I especially love that it is higher in protein.

      If you like your cookies chewy, leave them in the oven for 12 minutes. If you’re more of a crunchy person, bake them for the full 14.
