Cashew butter chocolate chip cookies (vegan, GF)

March 2, 2018 By travellingoven 2 Comments

I’m sorry for being a bit silent here on the blog lately but there has been a lot going on and I’ve been really busy with different projects, both work related and private. But I appreciate so much every one of you who take the time to stop by, read my recipes and try out some of them, look at the photos, read my stories, comment and write to me, thank you with all my heart and it means more than I can express with words!

Last two weeks I spent in my hometown Dubrovnik and I had super busy schedule with very little time to rest and relax. I did however manage to have few lovely coffee & chat dates with my friends and some great time with my parents so it’s great that even in the busiest of days and among all the stress, we can (and have to!) still find the time for our loved ones and at the end of the day, for ourself. As I came back to Zagreb I had to start in full work mode straight away as I’m busy organizing my first (!!!) Food Photography workshop with my colleague Natalie and there is still so much to do. But I don’t want to complain as it’s all super exciting and I just LOVE what I do sooooo much that it’s ok to be totally tired from time to time. There are always cookies to save the day, right?! 😀

cashew butter chocolate chip cookies, vegan and gluten-free

Anyway, what I wanted to tell you is that when I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything, I usually bake cookies! It help me to calm down and than there is nothing better than hide for a little while on the sofa under the blanket and have a cup of tea and some homemade cookies. Who is with me? 🙂 For that exact reason as soon as I came back home after being away for two weeks, I baked these cashew butter chocolate chip cookies and I wasn’t even planning on posting them on the blog (but rather just to eat them and take some photos) but they are so good that I just had to share them with you!

They are ‘melt in your mouth’ good and made with healthy ingredients too, there is absolutely no flour in them so they are naturally gluten-free and I made them egg-free for the reason that I didn’t get to go do my groceries yet that day and didn’t have any eggs in the fridge. You will need only few ingredients for these and I’m sure you will like them because:

  • they are yummy, slightly chewy and ‘melt in your mouth’ good
  • they are also made with healthy ingredients and actually good for you
  • these cookies are vegan and gluten-free
  • refined sugar-free as they are sweetened with coconut sugar
  • very easy to make and baked in 10 minutes
  • you need only one bowl when making them (so less dirty dishes to wash!)

Hope you’ll try these out and if you do, please let me know how you like them, I always love hearing from you! Also, don’t forget to sign up to mu blog if you don’t want to miss and new posts and subscribe to my newsletter (on the blog’s homepage)! Have a great day everyone and now let’s have some cookies if you agree! 🙂

Author: Lili
Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 15-16 cookies
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup (250 g) creamy cashew butter, unsalted
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 flax or chia 'egg' (1 tbsp ground flax or chia seeds + 3 tbsp water, mix and leave for few minutes)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or ½ tsp vanilla powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped (I used 70% cacao)
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 175 C / 350 F. Line large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Prepare flax or chia 'egg' by mixing 1 tbsp ground flax or chia seeds + 3 tbsp water and leaving for few minutes.
  3. In a larger mixing bowl combine cashew butter and coconut sugar and mix using electric mixer for few minutes until creamy and well combined.
  4. Stir in flax or chia 'egg', vanilla, salt and baking soda.
  5. Finally stir in chopped dark chocolate.
  6. Using your hands make small dough balls, place them on the baking tray leaving enough space between as they will spread when baking.
  7. Bake for 10 -12 minutes. Don't over-bake, they should still be rather soft when you remove them from the oven but will firm up when cooled.
  8. Leave to cool completely before storing in airtight container. Enjoy!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅
By the way, only when I started editing I noticed that the bubbles in my hot chocolate formed a shape of heart too. That's kind of sweet..☺️ So I'm sending some love to all of you too! ❤️

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
