Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup almond milk
• 0.75 cup vegan chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, along with the almond milk, and mix until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the vegan chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts (if using).

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are firm to touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the logs to cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 9

Once cool enough to handle, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices using a serrated knife.

Step 10

Arrange the slices flat on the baking sheet and return to the oven.

Step 11

Bake for an additional 15 minutes, turning the slices halfway through if desired for even crispiness.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
