Happy Friday, friends!
Since the weekend is upon us, I think we all deserve a treat for making it through another week of work, people and anything else that stresses you out! Even if you were super productive and made it through the week with a big ol’ smile, I know you’re happy its Friday so let’s celebrate.
Why?
Well honestly because I have these incredible vegan banana nutter cookies that I want to share with you. I know, I know…But I thought you said you didn’t like sweets!
I don’t, not really. But I do love making them.
I love the way Cos’ face lights up when he sees that I’ve made a new dessert.
I love it when my in-laws moan and groan over my delicious vegan sweet treats. Let this be a lesson to you vegans out there, if you want to win over hearts & minds, start with desserts. It’s a surefire win. Every. Single. Time.
What the heck is banana nutter?
Yeah, caught that, did you?
So I decided to try a thing with these vegan cookies. You know how butter is the main fat in cookies? Well I wondered if you could replace it with other butters like peanut or cashew butter. I did a little bit of Googling, I’ll admit, but there wasn’t a clear answer so I just went for it.
Guess what? It works. Okay, so I mixed half peanut butter and half butter but it still worked beautifully!
Feel free to add nuts or vegan chocolate chips, but I think these vegan cookies were pretty great on their own.
