Quick Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan)

Quick Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough






Hello lovelies! I was looking through my phone and found a BUNCH of pictures of recipes and things that I made but never posted, so expect a few updates ;)

This quick chocolate chip cookie dough literally takes like 3 minutes to make... tops. And part of that time is just waiting for the coconut oil to melt. After that, everything just gets stirred in. PLUS, it's vegan (as long as you use non-dairy chips). 

Do you ever find yourself craving cookie dough? Not necessarily to bake it, but just to eat it? This recipe makes the perfect amount for your craving. I found it on Pinterest and decided to try it out :)

5 ingredients, 1 bowl.
That's all you need.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Serves: 1
Calories: 332

Ingredients

1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp unbleached whole wheat flour*
1 pinch salt
1 tsp chocolate chips

* I found that the whole wheat gives it a little bit of a grainy texture but the trade off is that it's good for you? You can use whichever flour you want. Feel free to make it gluten free too!

Directions

1. Combine coconut oil, vanilla, and maple syrup in a small bowl.
2. Stir in flour and salt until thoroughly combined. Then add chocolate chips
3. Eat immediately or chill it for a few minutes :)





Enjoy!

love always,
