You know I give away a metric ton of food right? Cookies, muffins, bread, all the time. We eat a lot but I bake moar. My friends, neighbors and colleagues are a happy folk.
Anyhow I wanted to āveganizeā these cookie bars Tuesday night I think. They are GONE š Between the 2 and a half of us. Vegan bars were better than original š
Let me know if you give this recipe a try!

I loved these, they were so yummy! I took them out after 15 min though I should have checked them a bit earlier.
It was also my first time using flaxegg – and I’m definitely sold! It was so simple to make. I’ll have to try using them for some of my other weird half-egg recipes (which is unavoidable when scaling down recipes sometimes).
Thank you so much for sharing this though! I love your blog <3
That means SO MUCH! flax eggs are awesome, it’s also a great option to change up the nutritional profile and get some flax in our diet! Exactly about scaling down recipes. You and I think alike! Much love <3
