Is Chocolate Vegan?

This is a good question to ask. Most people will wonder whether chocolate is really vegan, and the answer is, yes. Chocolate is in fact vegan. 

Now, while milk is usually added sometimes when making chocolate, there are some brands, that do not have milk. Look for vegan chocolate chips and chocolate bars that are extremely vegan and do not contain any milk.

When seeking for the vegan chocolate chips at the store, check out the natural food aisle. Most of the grocery stores usually have a natural foods section, and if you ask any employee, they can tell you where you can find them.

Check for these brands: Simple Truth Organic, Enjoy Life, Lily’s Sweet Stevia, Guittard Semi-Sweet, Kirkland Semi-Sweet, Equal Change, Trader Joe’s Sweet, Pascha, or Sprouts Semi-Sweet. 

Ingredients

In order to make vegan cookies, you will need coconut oil (½ a cup), light brown sugar (1 and ¼ cups), vanilla extract (2 teaspoons), and coconut milk (¼ cup). However, you may want to try the thicker Thai milk, but any other coconut milk will do.

You will also need unsweetened applesauce (¼ cup), baking soda (1 teaspoon), chocolate chips (2 cups), vegan chocolate chips, and salt (you can also use flaky sea salt).

Instructions

Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside. Using a large bowl, put in the brown sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla, then whisk together these ingredients until they are well combined.

Add in the applesauce and the coconut milk in the mixture and ensure that you combine it well. In another separate bowl, combine the baking soda, flour, and salt, and whisk them well until they are combined.

Add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture that you prepared above, and then using a spatula or a wooden spoon, combine them together. The batter you make should be extremely thick, and then fold in the chocolate chips into it.

Handling the Dough

Scoop three mounds of the dough and then put them on the prepared cooking sheet. Leave a few inches between the cookies for spreading, and bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges appear golden brown.

Press the remaining chocolate chips on the cooked and warm cookies and then sprinkle some salt. Cool them on the sheet for around 15 minutes before serving.

You can freeze the chocolate chip dough in the freeze for as long as 3 months, and use it whenever you wish to make the cookies. If you want softer cookies, store the dough in an airtight container and then add a ¼ slice of bread. This helps to keep the cookies soft.
