I had fallen off the wagon a little bit, but now I am back and ready to make your mouths water! I have recently been experimenting with a lot of vegan baking. I know, I know, I bet you think that sounds awful and bland but I will tell you what- Most vegan baking, if done correctly, will taste incredible (sometimes even better than non vegan) Case in point: These cookies. Moving to VA was a blessing because I am now mere minutes away from Trader Joe's, and I have been able to find everything and anything I could need for vegan baking. Every time I walk in there I feel like a kid in a candy store-there is always something new to discover! So without further adieu, I present you with my vegan chocolate chunk cookies....
Now, you are probably wondering where I got this recipe from and the answer is quite predictable: Pinterest! hahaha This was my one "feeling sorry for myself" baking experience for the month and I am so glad I made them. Making them literally took a half hour and they were ready to eat in no time!
For these amazing, gooey cookies, you will need:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vanilla rice milk
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour (or any kind of flour you choose: brown rice, spelt, all purpose gluten free...)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
vegan chocolate chips or chunks (high quality chocolate does not normally contain any dairy though. You can read more about that HERE) I used Trader Joe's brand
It is really quite simple- Mix up all the dry ingredients in one bowl, mix up all the wet ingredients in another, combine and mix up until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Use a little coconut oil to grease the cookie sheet, drop them by the tablespoon, and bake for 15 minutes. You will LOVE how moist, and gooey and chocolately these cookies turn out. If you want my two cents, the whole experience is complete eating them with a tall, cold glass of vanilla rice milk-delish!
So give it a try, research some vegan recipes that would interest you and go for it. I think you will be surprised at how tasty it can be-and so much better for you too!
