It's a cookie kind of day <3 Nothing wrong with that, right?
These cookies are designed to be a post-workout cookie. Carbohydrate to protein ratio is 2:1 which is ideal for recovery and building muscle. Against popular belief, carbs do not make you fat! They are required to fuel the body and they also help you to recover after a workout.
Is there anything better than freshly baked chocolate chip cookies? Dumb question, of course there isn't. Chocolate chip cookies may be good for your soul, but they certainly don't benefit your body in most any other way.
I'm not about to reinvent chocolate chip cookies by any means, but a few ingredient substitutions here and there can certainly improve the nutritional profile!
AND WE'RE BACK!!! (Yes, that is a Wayne's World reference!)
So the past few weeks have been pretty hectic. Between packing, moving, unpacking, and working, I have had little time to make interesting recipes! I have still been cooking, but I haven't been experimenting quite as much as I would like to be. That is, until this past week!
I've been in Oregon over the past week visiting my parents and that always means tons of baking! Between brownies, cinnamon rolls, and cheesecake, there have been plenty of desserts to go around. However, none of these were vegan-friendly! So what delicious vegan treat was made today? Cookie Butter Bars! Not very pretty, but they're pretty delicious! ;)
