Vegan Carrot-Spice Gluten-free Cookie Recipe

 


Carrot-Spice Gluten-free Vegan Cookies

Anyone fearful of missing out on Christmas baking because of gluten-sensitivity or CD is really in luck this year-- the internet is teeming with recipes for delicious gluten-free treats. As far as baked cookies go, this next recipe could be classified a "health cookie" (except maybe for the sugar?). Once your mouth gets over the fact that it is not your standard wheat molasses-type cookie, your taste buds say, "al-right!" It's a cookie of substance!


1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup raisins or dried cranberries

1 egg substitute (mix 1 T. of ground
 flaxseed with 3 T. of water until creamy)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (an apple+ in the Vitamix and whirl)

2 tablespoons molasses

1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla

2 1/2 C. brown rice flour

1/2 teaspoon of each of the following: cinnamon, ginger, coriander (ground)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Christmas cards from Etsy-- arty, awkward, silly, lovely, exquisite, goofy, esoteric, evocative-- all the messages. Take a look:

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later).
