Instructions

Take half of the chocolate chunks and melt using double boiler method, or you may even use the microwave. Once done, keep it aside to cool.
Grind together the cane sugar and mint leaves. For a stronger mint flavor, you may add up to 1/2 cup of mint leaves.
Whisk the egg in a big bowl.
To this, add the melted chocolate, cane sugar and mint mixture, vanilla essence and sunflower oil. And whisk well.
Now add the dry ingredients, that is, the brown rice flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda, slowly and stirring in between.
Add in the remaining chocolate chunks too and mix well until well combined. Adjust the dough consistency. If it appears to be little loose, add 1-2 tablespoon more of the rice flour.
Preheat the oven to 180 degree centigrade. Line the baking tray with a parchment paper and keep it ready.
Now take small balls of dough and shape them to cookies, and place on the prepared baking tray.
Top them with a piece of walnut each.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
Allow to cool and enjoy the mint chocolate bites.
