If you’re more of a chocolate person

Here’s how to make brownies you would never guess are vegan

Guess what?! Cookie butter is VEGAN, can you believe it? It’s not gluten free, but you can omit and sub cup for cup of GF flour.

First, let’s make a flax egg.

Sounds unappetizing, but it’s a simple egg substitute for anyone with egg allergies and has a lot of health benefits.

  1. To start, mix flax seed meal with hot coffee-let it set up until texture of an egg.
  2. Melt chocolate (1) and whisk in flax egg, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder, then fold into sugar mixture just until combined.
  4. Next, fold in extra chocolate chips.
  5. Then, pour batter into parchment lined baking pan. Swirl in cookie butter. Use toothpick technique.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  7. Don’t forget, test “doneness” with toothpick.
  8. Next, allow to cool completely. Set up in fridge or freezer then trim edges in freezer
  9. Lastly, sprinkle with maldon.

You can’t go wrong with a classic Oatmeal Cream Pie

Here’s how to make some from scratch
  1. First, cream butter method, in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine sugar and butter.
  2. Then, emulsify egg.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix just until combined.
  4. Next, roll dough out between two pieces of parchment paper.
  5. Freeze, then cut out with round cutter.
  6. Finally, bake at 350 degrees until set. Cool completely then fill with cream cheese frosting and cranberry compote surprise.
