Directions
- To a saucepan on medium-high heat, dissolve the sugar in water and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the coconut cream, stirring, bring back to a boil. Continue to stir at a gentle boil until the mixture starts to ever so slightly stick to the back of your stirring spoon, about 8 minutes. You’ll see the sauce starts to thicken. Then remove it from the heat; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
- To a large bowl, add the flaxseeds and water, and mix. Let sit for 5 minutes to gel.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). To the flaxseed mixture, add the margarine, sugars, and vanilla, and mash together using a fork.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips, and mix until just combined. Careful not to overmix. Spread ½ of the batter in a 10-inch (26 cm) oven-safe cast iron skillet. Cover with ¼ cup caramel sauce, then dollop remaining dough over the caramel and smooth out. Top with reserved chocolate for decoration.
- Bake in the centre rack of the preheated oven for 30 - 35 minutes, or until the top is golden. Best served warm from the oven. Top with ice cream, coconut whip, extra caramel sauce, or vegan whipping cream.
Notes
- *For the coconut cream, we simply scooped out the slightly thicker part off the top of a can of coconut milk. Try to avoid the runnier liquid at the bottom where possible. Refrigerating the coconut milk overnight can help make it easier to extract the fat cream layer, although not always necessary. Note: some cans simply do not have so much coconut fat, and this can vary largely from brand to brand, and even from can to can within the same brand.
- Variations: instead of caramel, fill your cookie with homemade vegan Nutella or peanut butter.
Storage
- Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Hi! Should the margarine be unsalted? I can only find margarine with 0,9-1,2% salt where I live. Thank you in advance!
Hello ! I'm really enjoying your recipes, I've tried several and it was always delicious, especially the cinnamon rolls : ) I'd like to make this one, but I don't have an oven-safe cast iron skillet... Can I cook it in a regular baking dish ? Thank you for all you do !
Could I make this with vegetable oil instead? Don't have easy access to vegan margarine :(
This has become my go-to dessert! Served warm it’s gooey, but we also store it in the fridge for a cool, chewy treat! My husband even asked for this as his birthday cake! Superb!
Can you cook this over a fire while out camping? How long?
Thanks for the recipe! How can we use the rest 280ml of the coconut cream of a can?
