Vegan Snickerdoodles
These soft and chewy vegan snickerdoodles are dairy-free, refined sugar-free, gluten-free and easy to make.
One of my favorite things to do is re-create (or “veganize”) traditional treats and desserts and make them a little healthier and wholesome. These changes are simple, but it does take a little research to find the best substitutes for fatty and inflammatory ingredients.
These cookies are so good you won’t even taste the difference. In fact, you can probably eat a couple more than you would otherwise.
I feel like most cookies are year-round favorites. Although I didn’t grow up eating them, they have become a staple in my kitchen for their healthy ingredients. Make sure to have some cold almond milk in hand… dunking is optional!
