Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yields 1 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup almond flour
1/3 cup oat flour
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (I use the Enjoy Life brand)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1/4 cup aquafaba (the brine/liquid from a can of chickpeas)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl until well-combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the aquafaba with an electric hand-mixer/beater. It will take a few minutes but it will start to fluff up and turn into a fluffy white cream. Once loose peaks start to form it is done.
Add your melted coconut oil and your fluffy aquafaba to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons per cookie and roll them into balls.
One you place them on the cookie sheet you’ll want to use the palm of your hand to slightly flatten them.
Bake for 12 minutes or until slightly golden on the edges.
Let cool and then store in a sealed container so they keep their moisture.
Enjoy!

Pair this muffin with an oat milk latte and have yourself a good mood kind of day. I triple dog dare you :)
My first try at baking with aquafaba turned out better than anticipated, and who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies?!
For the longest time I didn’t understand people who ate savory breakfasts. I was ALWAYS a sweet breakfast or more fruit based kind of person. This is where crepes come in.
Once upon a time there was a cafe in OKC that served the absolute BEST quinoa chorizo tacos. After they closed down I knew I had to recreate one of my favorite weekend brunch traditions. While my version is not 100% exact to theirs, it is definitely less oil-filled and on the healthier (but still delicious!) side.
Why granola? Because “good” store-bought granola is still LOADED with sugar and it’s also like $12 for a very small bag which I find ridiculous.
When I was living in Amsterdam several years ago and working as a raw food chef, banoffee pie or banoffee parfaits were on the rage. I pretty much love anything with banana, so I was a huge fan!
When the weather shows signs of warming up I pretty much immediately start craving cold foods and more snack-like meals.
When I was growing up mac & cheese was a weekly staple, if not more. Since going plant-based 9ish years ago, I think I’ve finally come to accept that NO vegan version of mac and cheese is truly ever going to taste “the same,” but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equally as delicious!
With warmer days upon us, I have been seriously craving fresh herbs like mint and dill. It sounds kind of strange to put them together in this salad, but it is light, crisp, and refreshing.
I really love pasta, like really. I wish I liked it less to be honest. This pasta salad is definitely one of my favorites because it’s super light and refreshing.
Sometimes, you just need chocolate. And by you, I mean me. I pretty much always have a weakness for chocolate, so if I can find a way to sneak it into my breakfast smoothie I am ALL IN.
I made this recipe back in January after completing my 21-day Community Cleanse Program. It was the perfect “treat” after sticking to the program for 21-days. However, I’m pretty sure you and your families will enjoy this one any time of year!
