Chocolate Raspberry Sandwich Cookies

A smooth and silky raspberry cream sandwiched between two crunchy chocolate heart-shaped cookies. All vegan and dairy-free. High in fibre and good fats not to mention they’re super cute!

Make these chocolate raspberry sandwich cookies for your other half to show them how much you appreciate them and how much you love having them in your life. You can enjoy these cookies even if you’re single! Make them for your best friend, your family or just make them for yourself as a treat. We all know how important it is to treat ourselves to something special every once and a while 😉 

I posted a recipe for these star shaped cookies a couple of months ago and they were hugely popular, so I knew I had to make another similar recipe, but this time heart-shaped to celebrate the month of love <3

I find that using a mixture of oat flour and gluten-free flour always work best together to achieve a crunchy cookie. This time I substituted the oat flour for Mornflake oatbran as a way to bump up the fibre content even more and was curious to see how it would work out. I blended the oatbran in my blender until I had a fine flour to make the cookies more delicate and easier to work with. They turned out so well! The texture is exactly the same as when using oat flour, which I was really pleased with. 

Scroll to the top to watch the short video demo that I created showing you just how easy these cookies are to make step-by-step.

If you would like to recreate this recipe and you’re wondering where to buy oatbran, Mornflake is available at Morrison’s, Asda, Cooperative, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Ocado so it’s very easy to find!
