These cookies are gluten-free, vegan and refined sugar-free and absolutely delicious.
So easy to make them and only a handful of accessible ingredients required! I used oat flour which you can simply make at home by grinding whole oats. It is much fresher and much cheaper this way and since these cookies are practically made from oats I think they are perfectly acceptable for the breakfast:)
But definitely indulgent enough for dessert! Crispy edges, amazing crumb and melting chocolate in the middle…What not to love?
And the best thing… because there is no animal products and no raw flour involved you can try the dough before baking and adjust sweetness just to your liking! But be careful not to eat half of it just like that… I had a hard time stopping after multiple taste taste-tests so you have been warned:)
