    Raw Vegan Caramel Apple Cookies

    Sep 23, 2014 • Breakfast, Festive/Holidays, Luteal Phase, Snacks, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Raw Vegan Caramel Apple Cookies made with "date caramel" plus your favorite toppings. So easy and fun to make! These "cookies" are a perfect low-fat healthy snack or even breakfast option! From The Glowing Fridge

     

    I’ve been patiently waiting for honey crisp apples to go on sale and today was the day!  So I picked up a bunch 🙂 along with butternut squash, spaghetti squash and concord grapes that sorta taste like sour jelly.. it’s totally weird at first but they are addicting after a while.

    Have you tried concord grapes?! You must.

    My favorite snack of all time has always been peanut butter with apple slices, but I’ve grown bored of this typical snack. Not only that but I’ve been trying to cut back on my peanut butter addiction.

    It’s gotten out of control.

    I’ve also been eyeing all the caramel apples at the grocery stores that I can’t eat… so it was time to come up with my own, new, low-fat snack and vegan version of the seasonal caramel apple.

    It’s a total win. These Raw Vegan Caramel Apple Cookies also turned out to be my breakfast and lunch today ha. The life of a blogger! Someone has to eat all this food I create 🙂

    For the “caramel” I just blended up a bunch of gooey dates in the food processor with some water which turned into this sweet caramel-y spread. Dates are nature’s perfect sweetener and don’t need anything extra! To jazz it up I topped these apple cookies with coconut, raisins and chocolate chips. I know chocolate chips aren’t raw! You don’t have to add these if you are a raw vegan, but I knew they would add that chocolately touch. This snack made me feel like I was about 5 years old.. but I didn’t mind. It’s definitely a perfect snack or breakfast for kids. And adults.

    If you don’t want to get all fancy, you can just dip the apple slices into the “caramel” but the fancy way is more fun 🙂

     

    Other ways to enjoy “date caramel”:

    Spread on graham crackers.

    Add to smoothies for sweetness.

    Dip bananas in it.

    Top your nice cream with it.

    The options are endless.

    Description

    Apple slices topped with “date caramel” and your favorite toppings! The perfect healthy snack or breakfast options


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 15–20 soft, gooey medjool dates (soak in water for 20 minutes if they are not soft)
    • 1/3 cup water
    • 1 apple
    • 2 tablespoons raisins
    • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
    • 2 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate chips, optional (I like the Enjoy Life brand)

    Instructions

    1. In a food processor, blend the gooey dates until they are finely chopped. Add the water and blend until it turns into a date “paste”.

    • Omit the chocolate chips if you are a raw vegan. Other topping options: pecans, almonds, walnuts, gogi berries, cinnamon.

      This is brilliant! I’ve often seen date paste smoothered around whole apples and wondered how on earth it would stick to it properly. This totally solves that problem. Today’s afternoon tea is this!!!!

        Hi Sandy – yes I have seen that too! I was thinking you could even add another apple slice on top for a cookie sandwich. I just love these little raw apple cookies. I have them as a snack all the time. Hope you enjoy!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle.

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

I’ve always curled my hair the same way until recently! Loving this look from our new spiral wand. This is apart of our curling wand that comes with 3 attachments 👀 there are some pieces of my hair that look crimpy so I need practice but it took the same amount of time as my normal curling wand.

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist
