    Easy Vegan Almond Butter Chewy Cookies

    {Easy} Almond Butter Chewy Cookies. Vegan, Gluten Free ! Simple & quick. All you need is a food processor; no hand mixing necessary. Healthier with whole food ingredients and naturally sweetened with dates. Any nut butter can be used! #vegan #almondbutter #cookie

    One food processor is all you need to whip up these Easy Vegan Almond Butter Chewy Cookies.

    No hand mixing necessary. You really can’t mess them up! Oh, and they’re super quick too.

    Ten minutes to make, ten minutes to bake and by the time you’re done cleaning up, they’ll be ready! 

    Sometimes you need a go-to cookie recipe. For the nights when you’re lazy but also want a healthier cookie (which is me, all the time) these little cookie bombs are a late night craving come true. Made with oats, dates, almond butter, almond milk, baking powder and vanilla (and vegan chocolate chips if you want). That’s it. Easy peasy!

    I’m thinking of so many variations for these now, but you can use any kind of nut butter and/or plant milk you have on hand because this recipe is forgiving that way. You could also add in dried cherries or cranberries or nuts… anything goes. Since I don’t know a cookie without chocolate chips, that’s what I used ha.

    I’ve made them with almond butter/almond milk and cashew butter/cashew milk. I prefer the almond variety but both were just sweet enough to satisfy a sweet craving and had just enough chocolate to keep me sane. For anyone with a nut allergy, I recommend sunflower seed butter.

    Instead of maple syrup or coconut sugar, we’re using gooey medjool dates to sweeten them naturally! Dates are magical like that.

    First, blend up the oats into a flour. Add in the gooey dates (soak them in hot water for 10 minutes if they aren’t soft) and almond butter. Pulse until the dates are blended, then add in the rest of the ingredients (except chocolate chips; I only added those on top of each cookie) and blend until sticky and the mixture forms into a ball in the food processor.

    Using two tablespoons of cookie mixture, roll into balls and press flat. Then add three vegan chocolate chips on top and bake for 10 minutes!

    Description

    Ready in 20 minutes, these easy vegan cookies are a delight!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 1/4 cup oats (any kind will work; I used gluten free oats)
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • tiny pinch of salt
    • 10 gooey medjool dates (about 1 cup)
    • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter (or any nut butter; make sure it’s runny and more liquid-y)
    • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any plant milk)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • vegan chocolate chips, to top

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. In a food processor, blend up the oats into a flour. Add in the baking powder, cinnamon and salt and blend again. Next add in the gooey dates (soak them in hot water for 10 minutes if they aren’t soft), almond butter, almond milk and vanilla. Pulse until well blended, the mixture is sticky and it forms into a ball in the food processor.
    3. Using two tablespoons of cookie mixture, roll into balls and lightly press flat with a flat wooden spoon (makes 10-12 cookies). Then add the chocolate chips on top and push them in a little.
    4. Bake for 10 minutes! Let cool for 5 minutes.
    5. Enjoy!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
