Every good blog needs a good recipe, right?
I don’t believe in gatekeeping - everyone deserves to have simple, tasty things. And I'm not gonna share any deep life stories to hold you hostage before revealing this recipe. All I will say is this is one of my oldest + most used and loved recipes that is a go-to for any occasion and one I make regularly as a healthy and tasty snack to have on hand for a busy week.
I call it the ULTIMATE COOKIE as it is a peanut butter/chocolate chip/oatmeal cookie that is vegan and gluten-free, made with all organic ingredients, is nutritious, AND actually delicious! It does it all. I always get asked for the recipe, so I thought if I give it somewhere to live, I can share the love more easily.
A yummy treat that is basically breakfast in a cookie.
Enjoy!
I can’t remember where I got this recipe, but it has evolved over lots of time. I’d say this makes about 12 big-ish cookies.
If you like a crunchy/crispy cookie, skip the apple sauce.
If you like a chewy cookie, maybe add a little more.
I also often add walnuts, raisins, or other spices, and change up the nut butter + I have recently swapped the avo oil for coconut - or just eliminated it for a little extra nut butter (cause it’s oily enough, ya?), and it’s been good. Even better.
There are no rules. Add or subtract for your desires or allergies.
The ultimate cookie is the reminder that you can have it all.
You don’t have to choose between chocolate chip and peanut butter. Between tasty and nutritious. Between convenient and healthy.
It is a cookie. Not a replacement for a meal, but it can definitely add some sustenance and joy to your days in a simple way.
You deserve the sweet treat! But, even better if the sweet treat is real food with nutrients.
With love & Gratitude,
