Lightly chewy, chunky, soft in the middle oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies that just happen to be vegan and gluten free. These rival and I think are actually better than my classic gluten free cookies which contain an egg.
One bowl, 10 -12 cookies, ready to eat in about 25 minutes and delicious given a little heat served with a scoop of dairy free ice cream, but equally delightful with a mug of your favourite warm beverage. Mine various, I’m the queen of herbal teas at the moment! Coffee or matcha first thing, copious amounts of water during the day sometimes with fresh ginger and lemon slices, and then usually I’ll opt for a Tulsi tea in the afternoon and either a liquorice or peppermint post dinner depending on my fullness level!
I opted for chocolate chunks in these cookies, but you could add some toasted seeds, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, cranberries, or whatever you fancy!
