Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey or 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice
  • 1/2 cup crushed raw walnuts
  • 6 ounces semisweet vegan chocolate chips

Method

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  • Squeeze the juice out of your fruit. I used two tangerines to get the 1/3 cup needed. Had a little left over to sip myself!
  • Whisk together the tangerine juice, applesauce, and honey. Then pour into your dry ingredients, mix with spatula until well combined.
  • Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
  • Drop huge, heaping tablespoons of dough onto a cookie sheet prepared with parchment. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Then raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for another 10 minutes. Until golden brown. Let cool.
  • Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner!
