Ingredients You Need for Crunchy Sweet Nigerian Chin Chin [Vegan]

2 cups whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup raw cane sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp nutmeg or cinnamon
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1/4 cup almond milk

How to Prepare Crunchy Sweet Nigerian Chin Chin [Vegan]

Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and combine all the ingredients.
Add the sunflower oil and a little bit of the almond milk and mix with a wooden spoon. Start to add the almond milk a little at a time until you have a firm dough. You don’t want it to be too sticky, otherwise it will be hard to roll out. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes then wrap it in some cling film and refrigerate for 20-30 mins.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out until it is about 1 cm thick
Cut the dough into strips and then little squares.
Place the squares on a baking tray lined with grease-proof paper. It’s a bit fiddly, but it’ll be worth it in the end. Bake in a pre-heated oven, gas mark 5, for 10 minutes until golden brown. You may wish to turn them over half-way through to get a more even color.
