    {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!

    I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and ca I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and can’t stop staring at it! 🤩 here is what the inside pages look like. there is also a weekly reflection page that you’ll fill out after each week! you’ll be tracking month and day, cycle day, moon phase, cervical mucus, bleeding or spotting, symptoms, ovulation, pain/cysts and basal body temperature, digestion, overall mood, stress level, libido, sleep quality, supplements, nourishing foods, cravings, movement and lastly workflow or motivation! tracking these things will help you notice patterns. like for instance after ovulation, my mood is super low for a couple days due to the shift in hormones. so I can plan accordingly and know what’s coming! 

what about this tracker makes you excited?! I want to hear your thoughts!! you can preorder The Happy Hormone Tracker on amazon or wherever books are sold! Release date is October 20th 🩸

    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
