Vegan Blueberry Muffin Cookies | Aromatic Vanilla Cake

Blueberry muffins remind me of lazy weekend mornings rising up. I keep in mind making them with my Dad usually and having fun with them with brunch. Though they got here from a boxed combine I nonetheless loved them and appeared ahead to them. I particularly beloved scraping the final little bit of batter from the bowl to get pleasure from. I now make my very own blueberry muffins and that’s nonetheless my favourite taste. So the opposite day I used to be pondering, how scrumptious wouldn’t it be to make blueberry muffin cookies and luxuriate in the most effective of each worlds?! So I made Vegan Blueberry Muffin Cookies!

I used my chocolate chip cookie dough as a base and it was good! The one modifications I made to it have been solely utilizing granulated sugar as a substitute of half granulated half brown, and including somewhat cinnamon and nutmeg. This cookie dough makes use of all issues that I usually have available. as a substitute of vegan butter I exploit coconut oil in these and so they include apple sauce to interchange the eggs in traditional cookies, which supplies them a pleasant chewy texture. I used entire wheat pastry flour however if you happen to want all function or perhaps a gluten free flour (comparable to Bob’s Pink Mill all function gluten free baking flour which I’ve used with success) you possibly can use these as a substitute.

I stirred in loads of contemporary blueberries. The explanation I didn’t use frozen was as a result of I used to be afraid they might be too watery and add an excessive amount of moisture to the cookies. Should you needed to make use of frozen although I believe you possibly can thaw them nicely and actually squeeze them out. I sprinkled the cookies with some turbinado sugar earlier than baking like I might with muffins.

These cookies smelled so heavenly whereas baking and I couldn’t wait to strive them!  They have been comfortable and chewy, scented with vanilla and a touch of cinnamon, filled with jammy blueberries!  Sooo scrumptious!  My husband beloved them as nicely, and stored sneaking them once I wasn’t trying.  In case you are a blueberry muffin fan, positively give these Vegan Blueberry Muffin Cookies a strive!
