Anyone else ever get the urge to bake at the most inconvenient times? When you just can’t go to the grocery store but you really want some cookies? Well that happens to me, what seems like, all too often. So these vegan chocolate chip cookies work perfect because they’re packed with all my kitchen essentials which requires no trips to the store! Win-win. Plus they’re pretty irresistible.
If you ask my hubby, he’d tell you that I run off peanut butter and chocolate, which I won’t argue. Most days I eat my favorite peanut butter cup oatmeal for breakfast, which is a mix of healthy and sweet. I also tend to make peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough for one as a dessert on a more common occasion as well. But who can argue that the combination of flavors isn’t just amazing! If you can, you’re in the wrong place.
What you’ll love about these vegan chocolate chip cookies?
- They contain healthy ingredients. Clocking 4 grams of fiber per cookie, and only 5 grams of sugar, you can’t argue that for a dessert these are a great option!
- They are really good, like any other cookie. Though they may look like an oatmeal cookie, they really are delicious. I gave them to some friends and they were gone the next day.
- Gluten-free! Don’t worry about serving these to your friends with celiac or gluten intolerances because they are safe.
- Vegan cookies. You can share these with anyone. Just make sure your chocolate is vegan, and you use a raw vegan sugar or coconut sugar.
