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!

There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, like refreshing mornings swims, ice creams and cold watermelon, days spent reading books, time with my family and so on.. But after a while my heart starts longing for cool winds and rainy days, morning mists, storms, dark clouds and finding beauty in the shadows… That’s where I find my inspiration and when I feel the most like myself. 🌿

It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at th It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at the moment and that’s quite unusually hot even in August. So I just want to eat light food (fresh figs! cold watermelon! juicy tomatoes!), drink lots of water and hide from the heat imagining all my favourite things I will enjoy this autumn. Tomorrow we should be back to ‘normal’ summer weather… Stay tuned! 😅

I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who li I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who lives behind those doors and what are their stories.. In life, love and between. It has to do less with curiosity and more with entering the world of imagination. Possibly escaping the realities of life too. Anyway, to keep it more light and simple on this summer afternoon, here’s a photo of pretty doors! 😄

These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mo These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mostly the heat that doesn’t agree with my body, me and summer heat are certainly not on good terms. Also, there’s a lot on my mind. And heart. 
I would love to feel the lightness of summer, you know the one where you feel that the summer breeze coming from the sea in the evenings melts all your life challenges and blues away and you feel ligtness in your heart and body. A sparkle. Excitement. Flow. But sometimes that doesn’t come easy. So I need to make an effort and try a bit harder. And that’s ok. Some summers are lighter than others just as some winters are darker. All that is our beautiful life…❤️

In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to simple scenes, even minimalistic, capturing beauty of something ‘ordinary’ that could easily be overlooked… 
I admire work of many photographers who create beauty with busy, more complex scenes but when I decided to follow my heart and what feels right to me, that’s when I started enjoying photography the most. ❤️

My editing style has changed a lot in the last few My editing style has changed a lot in the last few years so sometimes I like to re-edit older photos and compare with the original edit. Most of the times I’m like ‘what was I thinking?!’…😅 But I actually like to see the difference and I’m enjoying the process of changing, evolving, seeing things differently.. So here’s a new edit of this lovely scene and cake made by @evakosmasflores, hope you like it. It makes me feel like late summer afternoon…🧡
