Vegan & Gluten-free Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

Vegan & Gluten-free Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

This vegan & gluten-free skillet chocolate chip cookie is one of those desserts that’s best enjoyed with others. Just imagine you have people over, you just finished dinner and you serve this heavenly treat in the middle of the table. Straight out of the oven with a generous dollop of ice cream on top. Who could resist that?

 

Although it tastes best warm, I’ve also had it cold from the fridge and it still tastes divine! Made with healthier substitutions like oats and ground almonds. It’s also completely dairy-free, egg-free and gluten-free.
