Well, I finally did it?feast your eyes on these grain-free, nut-free vegan chocolate chunk beauties!! Whew. Nicole and I, along with a couple bonus mama testers (shout-out to Cynthia and Jen!), teamed up to test about 25 batches of cookies these past few weeks! High fives all around. I couldn?t do it without these amazing ladies.
Over the years I?ve been asked so many times to develop grain-free vegan cookies…and nut-free vegan cookies…and grain- AND nut-free vegan cookies! Haha. So you know what I did" I created grain-free and nut-free vegan cookies. It wasn?t easy, but the journey was rather delicious. These cookies have actually been in the making for a couple years as I went back to an old grain-free cookie recipe that I started developing and then forgot about. Score! This recipe uses cassava flour, which is a grain- and gluten-free flour made from yuca with good binding properties and a neutral flavour. I wanted so badly to share a swap for the cassava flour (as I know it?s not a common ingredient), but I?m just not quite there yet?although I have been experimenting with arrowroot starch as an option! Stay tuned. So today, instead of a flour swap, I thought I?d share some other allergy-friendly OSG cookie recipes that might suit your needs in the list below. I?ve also included suggestions for where to find cassava flour within the recipe itself.
If you don?t have cassava flour on hand and still want to make some cookies (of course you do!), here are...
