Ingredients and Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions (if any) for this Vegan Cookie Cake recipe. Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card, at the bottom of this blog post, for the full list of ingredients and instructions.

This recipe calls for two flax eggs which is a vegan egg substitute. You can use a regular chicken egg, but it won’t be vegan anymore.

Almond milk is used, but you can also use any type of nut milk, milk, or non-dairy milk alternative.

Almond butter is the healthy fat in this recipe, you can use any other type of nut or seed butter such as cashew, pecan, walnut, tahini, or oat butter.

Vanilla extract adds a lovely flavor.

Coconut sugar is used to keep this recipe free from any unrefined sugars. Feel free to use cane sugar, brown sugar. Maple syrup or any type of liquid sweetener can be used, but the end result may slightly differ.

Almond flour is the main ingredient in this recipe. You can sub oat flour instead, but the end result may slightly differ.

Baking powder helps this recipe rise.

A pinch of salt to help balance out all the flavors.

Vegan chocolate chips keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free, but you can use any chocolate chips that you’d like. Dairy chocolate chip will make this recipe not vegan.

How to make a flax egg

Making a flax egg is simple and quick! For one flax egg, combine 1 Tbsp of ground flax with 2.5 Tbsp water. Stir really well and let sit on the counter or fridge for 10-15 minutes to thicken.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry, place it in the freezer for 5 minutes.

The texture should be thick and gooey, similar to an egg.
