The fact that I am lactose intolerant and get a sweet tooth craving after dinner pretty much on a nightly basis makes Vegan Thumbprint Cookies a perfect choice for an after dinner treat. They actually make a great addition to breakfast and a wonderful snack anytime throughout the day too. They are loaded with nutrition, fiber, are vegan, and taste delicious. I got the recipe from a vegan baking class I took about 6 months ago, and everytime I make a batch of these for myself and friends, they are a hit. The ingredients can be a little expensive if you buy them all at once, but they last for a long time. The flours can be found at any health food store or Whole Foods Market. I like using
Bob's Red Mill flours the best. These cookies are sweet yet wholesome at the same time without any white flour or white sugar. Enjoy!
Vegan Thumbprint Cookies
1 cup oats or gluten free oats
1 cup almond flour
1 cup millet flour
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup palm sugar
3 tablespoons flaxmeal
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Fruit sweetened jam
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor pulse the oats. Mix oats, almond flour, millet flour, olive oil, maple syrup, palm sugar, flaxmeal and sea salt. With your hands, roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on lined cookie sheet. With your thumb, press into center of ball to create an indentation. Fill each cookie with a tsp on jam. Bake for 20-25 minutes
These cookies must smell so good when baking. I want one may-be two?????????
ReplyDeleteThese look GREAT
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious! A little glass of almond milk on the side and the sweet tooth disappers. :)
ReplyDeletei've been drinking bird nest soup every night (i only get the homemade kind back at home). the only reason why i drink it is because it's supposed to be good for complexion.
ReplyDeletei’ve been taking the store-bought kind online (e.g. http://www.geocities.jp/hongkong_bird_nest/index_e.htm of famous branded only of course) which is directly mailed from Hong Kong. this would be at a more affordable price.
Hi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteTell me more about Bird's Nest Soup! I've never heard of it before. Hmmm....
