I’m a vegetarian. An ovo-lacto-vegetarian. I’ve been one since I was three. I simply stopped eating meat. This does not mean that I don’t respect those who eat meat or those who are vegan. Because I am somewhere in between. J I have my moments when I love eating vegan food.

As proof, here are these cookies. I first tried them 2 weeks ago. Marcel loved them, too, so I thought I’d share their recipe.

 

Here are the ingredients for 16 cookies—

1 banana

230g flour

50g brown sugar

1/2 sachet baking powder

a pinch of salt

60g coconut oil (room temperature)

60ml coconut milk

vanilla extract

40g vegan chocolate chips

 

Mash the banana. Add the flour, the brown sugar, the baking powder, and the salt. Mix them and continue adding the wet ingredients – the coconut oil (usually solid; now – at room temperature), the coconut milk, the vanilla extract. Knead a bit to combine the ingredients, and then add the chocolate chips.

Cut the dough in half and roll one of the halves on a kneading board. Then, cut it into 8 ’slices’. Make a small ball out of each slice and flatten it out on the baking pan lined with baking parchment. Continue with the second dough half in the same manner.

Bake the cookies for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, at 180°C.

Warning! They finish fast. :D
