Healthier White Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Vegan Cookies
These Healthier White Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Vegan Cookies are so amazing. I mean, I know I’m really biased because this is my recipe but I LOVE these cookies. The flavours are so perfectly balanced between rich and sweet. The white chocolate and coconut are sweet and fruity, but that’s all balanced deliciously with the raspberry that adds a summery touch with a bit of tartness. These cookies are the perfect mixture of soft chewy gooey with a lovely crunch on the edges!
Healthy Ingredients
These Healthier White Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Vegan Cookies are healthier because they don’t use any butter!! You may be thinking whaaaaat how is that possible?! Well it’s because I used cashew butter instead! So these cookies have a lot of protein, because they also have a lot of almond flour instead of all purpose flour. This means that these cookies are very satisfying because they have a lot of healthy fats and protein, but also vitamins and minerals from the almonds and cashews. Cashews are a great source of plant protein, fibre, and heart healthy fats. Almonds are a really good source of vitamin e, fibre, protein, and more! YUM.
This means that you will feel more full and satisfied after eating these cookies. But these cookies do however have sugar and white chocolate, so they’re not completely healthy. However, I find that I feel so much more satisfied eating only one of these cookies, rather than regular cookies made with flour and butter, due to the protein and healthy fats. Those kinds of cookies are much less satisfying nutrients wise, so they give your blood sugar a major spike and you crash only moments later. So these Healthier White Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Vegan Cookies are a much better alternative because they aren’t full of empty calories and will keep your blood sugar more stable.
Since these Healthier White Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Vegan Cookies have raspberries, white chocolate and coconut, they feel a bit fancier so they are perfect to make whenever you want to impress any guests. Or just for whenever you feel like eating a really delicious cookie!! These are perfect to take on any outdoor adventure as well! So I hope you give these cookies a try. They’re definitely one of my favourite recipes. These Healthier White Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Vegan Cookies have amazing texture and flavour. Let me know what you think! Enjoy!
