1-How to Prepare the Perfect Vegan Cookie Cups: Getting started with this recipe is a breeze, and you’ll have delicious cookie cups ready in no time. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it or using liners. This sets the stage for even baking and easy removal later.

2-Next, in a large bowl, mix together the 2 cups granola, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 cup cassava flour. Stir until everything is well combined for that perfect base. Then, in another bowl, blend the 1/2 cup almond butter, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or paste until smooth.

3-Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to form a dough. If it feels too sticky, pop it in the fridge for a bit to firm up. Press the dough evenly into the muffin tin cups, shaping them to hold the fillings.

4-Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn golden, then let them cool completely. Once cooled, prepare the vegan marshmallow fluff by whipping the 1/4 cup aquafaba until foamy, then add 1/2 cup tapioca syrup, the agar agar mixture (1 tablespoon powder with 3 tablespoons water), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste, and a pinch of salt. Top with dark chocolate or chips, and if you like, use a kitchen torch to toast the fluff for that classic s’mores vibe.

5-This method ensures your cookie cups come out just right every time. It’s all about balancing the steps to get that gooey center and crisp edge. For more tips on baking variations, remember to check out other recipes like the ones we have.
