Vegan Chewy Gluten- free Chocolate-Chip Cookies

What You’ll Need

• 1 very ripe banana
• 1/3 cup nut butter (I’ve tried both peanut and almond)
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup oats
• Chocolate chips to your liking
• Optional: a drizzle of agave or maple syrup to make it a little bit sweeter

Method

• Combine all ingredients well in a small bowl: I used 1/2 porridge oats and 1/2 large oats, but using only large ones works equally well
• Use a spoon to scoop 6 cookies onto a lined baking sheet and flatten (I didn’t have parchment paper so I sprinkled some oats to prevent the cookies from sticking).
• Add extra chocolate chips on top.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes at 200C.
• Delight with all your senses, a hot cup of cacao or tea!

Method

When we picture it in our mind's eye, our Sun centers, at St Soleil, we embrace the way that veganism transcends mere dietary choices; it's a holistic lifestyle that reflects a profound commitment to compassionate and sustainable living. It extends beyond the plate to encompass the products we use, the clothes we wear, and the practices we endorse. At its core, veganism signifies a conscientious choice to minimize harm to animals and the planet. It's a conscious effort to make a positive impact on the world, leaving a legacy of compassion and mindfulness for future generations.
By embracing veganism, one not only nourishes their body with plant-based foods but also nurture a deeper connection to the environment and the sentient beings we share this planet with, echoing the belief that our actions should reflect the change we wish to see in the world.
