3 Ingredient Cookie Bites // Vegan & Gluten Free

Simple, quick, bite-sized, and delicious! All of the qualities I was looking for in a recipe this time! I wanted to create something quick and easy you could bring to a Halloween party, make for yourself instead of buying candy, or just a fun recipe to make with your kids!

My goal was to keep the ingredients really simple, but also accommodate people with a lot of allergies. Thats why I skipped the eggs and gave you the option so use whatever type of “Butter” works for you!

using oat flour is a great cheap and easy alternative for flour! You can make it by blending oats on high until it turns into a fine powder. I use gluten-free oats, but if your not gluten free, regular oats will work perfectly fine!

I also want you to feel free to use whatever chocolate you like! I ended up using dark chocolate with almonds which added great texture to the cookie!

SO here for you are the directions to make this beauty!

Ingredients

½ cup oat flour

1/3rd cup nut butter

1/4th cup syrup

1 bar of your choice chocolate 

Grease a baking sheet & preheat the oven to 350F

Mix together syrup, flour, & sunflower butter. 

Scoop mixture with a teaspoon measure and roll dough into balls, it should make about 22 cookies.  

Cook for 10-12 minutes, the cookies should turn a golden brown.  

While the cookies are baking cut your chocolate bar into squares.

Take the cookies out of the oven and press one square of chocolate into each cookie.

Let cool in the fridge & enjoy!

Dairy Free & Gluten Free Banana Cream Pie

I was watching a show the other week and they began to discuss pies. Specifically how bad American pies are, and I have to say it left me a little upset. So upset that I made a pie, ate it and then felt satisfied in knowing that American pies are indeed delicious!

Now, this pie is a little different because I can’t have dairy or gluten, but I have to say it was not that far off! The banana cream layer was a perfect consistency and tasted exactly how a banana cream pie should taste, without any of the fake tasting pudding stuff, this was the real deal!

The crust was something I wanted to present as baked. I have done raw vegan crusts and honestly you could even make this a no-bake crust with a little more honey, BUT I wanted this pie to be so close I wouldn't feel like I was eating something like a pie, I wanted it to be a real pie. So I baked the crust and Man oh Man was it worth it. It offered the perfect texture, tasting almost like a graham cracker!

The filling I felt like going half and a half with homemade ingredients was good enough as well because I wanted this to give you the experience of a real pie. Thankfully my local grocer carries dairy-free whipped cream! I used this as the second layer. Just make sure when you are serving the pie that you put this on right before serving as it can deflate a bit. If you have this issue, spread the whipped cream around and call it a day.

So with all this explained and talked about, let’s get to the details!
