Thin Mints

thevegan8.com

Marcia Erdman

1 cup (112g) superfine blanched almond flour* (see NOTES at bottom)

½ cup (64g) superfine oat flour

6 tablespoons (36g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder

3 tablespoons (30g) coconut sugar (or regular if your prefer)

¼ teaspoon (2g) fine salt

7 tablespoons (140g) pure maple syrup

½ cup (128g) super creamy roasted almond butter

⅛ teaspoon peppermint oil (not extract, see NOTE)*

subheading: Coating:

2 cups (480g) semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips (I used mini Enjoy Life)

⅛ teaspoon peppermint oil

1 teaspoon coconut milk to help thin out the chocolate (if needed)

* NOTE: I found 1/8 teaspoon of peppermint oil to be just right in the dough and coating so that it isn’t overpowering and taste like toothpaste. My family thought they were perfect as well. If you want it stronger, then once the chocolate coating is melted, taste a small amount after mixing the peppermint in and add a tiny bit extra if preferred, keeping in mind it is very strong. I buy my oil from Michael's in the bakery items isle. I recommend the oil for the best flavor (no alcohol taste) but if you really want to use the extract, make sure it is peppermint (not mint) and keep in mind it's 4 times less strong than oil, so you will likely need 1/2 teaspoon in the batter and coating. Maybe start with 1/4 tsp and adjust to taste. note: NOTE: I found ⅛ teaspoon of peppermint oil to be just right in the dough and coating so that it isn’t overpowering and taste like toothpaste.
