Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan chocolate chip cookies using aquafaba! Have you heard of aquafaba before? It is the liquid remaining in a canned chickpea. Okay I know what you’re thinking, um what! You’re not even going to taste it; aquafaba acts like a perfect vegan substitute for an egg.
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 ½ cup oat flour
3 tablespoons plant sterol, melted
1/3 cup coconut sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chocolate chip cookies
¼ cup aquafaba
Method:
1.) In a large bowl beat the aquafaba until light and fluffy. Slowly mix in the melted plant sterol and coconut sugar.
2.) Slowly add in the flour, mixing well after each addition, followed by salt and baking powder. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips mixing with a rubber spatula.
3.) Pop cookie dough in fridge while you preheat the oven to 375F. Line a cookie sheet with a nonslip mat. When oven is warmed, form tablespoon scoops of cookie dough spread out on sheet. Use back of a spoon to flatten cookies out.
4.) Bake for 12-14 minutes, let cool.
Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
