Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Vegan & Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are flourless and egg-free, with an irresistibly soft and chewy center. My mom tasted one this weekend and immediately deemed it “the best cookie” she’s ever tasted.

These cookies are the result of a late-night cookie craving I had a couple of weeks ago. Normally, I’d reach for my stash of Cashew Butter Cookies, which we almost always have stored in the freezer, but I really wanted a warm and gooey cookie, fresh from the oven. So, I decided to experiment….

Vegan Kale Caesar Salad with Garlic Roasted Chickpeas

This post is sponsored by USA Pulses & Pulse Canada. I don’t know about you, but I don’t always get excited about eating kale.
