Armed with a couple of overripe bananas and a few other pantry ingredients, I whipped up these easy vegan banana choc chip cookies. Banana choc chip cookies I used oat flour for these cookies, as it’s my go-to flour…it’s cheap and easy to make your…

A quick note about the ingredients: I used raw buckwheat, but ideally you’ll want to use activated buckwheat for best digestibility. You can buy activated buckwheat, or you can activate it yourself by soaking overnight and then dehydrating. The dehydrating is optional, but as I…
