EASY VEGAN OREOS

Did you ever watch the Magic School Bus? My fellow nerdy 90s kids where are ya? Do you remember the haunted house episode about sound? Well before I lose most of you, the moral of the story is less is more. You have to take things away. You have to start with simple and only add what is absolutely necessary. That is the approach I took with these cookies. The result: easy peasy perfect gluten-free Vegan Oreos made with only 5 ingredients!

My first concern when I got this recipe request was crispy cookie?….how to make a crispy crumbly oil-free cookie? We can’t have soft chewy vegan oreos, then they’d just be whoopee pies pretending.

Based on these oatmeal cookies, I knew maple syrup had to be involved. And of course cacao powder is an integral ingredient too because chocolate. So from there, using my Magic School Bus knowledge, I added as few other ingredients as possible. And all they ended up needing was brown rice flour. Yep, just 3 ingredients and you have crunchy chocolate cookies–the ‘bread’ to our sweet sandwich.
