Vegan Quote

‘But surely the most crucial point of all is that if someone doesn’t want to eat meat, the chances are they don’t want their dinner
to look like it either. You wouldn’t dream of presenting your Jewish guests with fish carefully manufactured to look like a pork chop.
So why wave replica meat in front of someone who clearly doesn’t want to see it?’

Choco-Nana Frozen Drop Cookies

What to do when you have a craving for chocolate and little time to make anything? Try these awesome frozen cookies. They take a few minutes to make then are frozen to eat whenever you want (or you can eat a mouthful of the batter because it is egg-free so there is no worry about raw-eggie stomach yuckies.)


Choco-Nana Frozen Drop Cookies

1/2 cup non-dairy chocolate chips (Foley's 100% Pure Chocolate Chips are available at IGA)
2 ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp ground flax seeds (whole flax seeds offer you no nutritional value because your digestive system can't break through the husk. Lots of potential but no benefit. Keep ground flax seeds in the freezer.)
2 tsp cocoa
1/2 cup salted cashews (or a mix with raisins or craisins but you need some salt in the nuts or add 1/2 tsp salt instead)

Melt the chocolate in a dry bowl in the microwave. Heat 30 seconds, stir, then heat again. Don't leave them heating too long or they will burn. If there is water in the bowl the chocolate will become really stiff when it's melted. (Good science but not good cookies.) Peel and slice the bananas into the chocolate and mash around to mix it up. There should still be some banana chunks in the chocolate. Stir in all the rest of the ingredients. Drop by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. The number of cookies will depend on the size of your spoon and "drops". I got 12. Freeze. Yum!
