Zesty Lemon Cranberry Muffin Tops

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Warm the coconut milk in the microwave then stir in the flaxseed, set it to the side for a couple of minutes to let it gel a bit.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the rest of the wet ingredients and sugar until well mixed. Add in the coconut milk/flaxseed mixture and stir again.
3. In a medium bowl, sift the flours, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt together. Add the dry mix into the wet mix one cup at a time, until combined fully.
4. Once the dough is formed, fold in the cranberries and walnuts. You will need two cookie sheets for baking, I poured roughly 1/2 tsp. of oil onto each one and spread it so that the cookies didn’t stick. You could also use parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
5. Form relatively round, 2 Tbsp. cookie shapes 2″ apart on the baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes; when the timer has gone off, take the sheets out of the oven and let the cookies rest on them for 5 minutes.
6. Remove the cookies from the baking sheets and place them on cooling racks until they’re cool enough to eat.
