Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

I’m going to come right out and say it: this may just be my favorite recipe.

There are just so many iterations of and preferences for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, but let me paint you a picture of what mine would look like. Golden brown on the outside, chewy and gooey on the inside. Studded with melty chocolate chips, with a soft, slightly under-baked center. Best eaten when fresh out of the oven. Call me a cookie texture princess. Fine. I deserve it.

My point is: I think I might have achieved one of my dreams with this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie.

I created this recipe when I was craving something sweet to eat with my afternoon coffee (okay, so yes, this is a feeling I get around 3PM everyday of my life, but I digress…) I wanted something that would taste decadent but not feel too heavy.

My recipe uses no dairy, no eggs, and no grains. It is sweetened with coconut sugar and uses just three tablespoons of oil in the entire recipe. But don’t let all this talk fool you…I’ve tricked more than a few people into thinking it’s a lot unhealthier than it actually is. You’ll want to make and eat this on repeat – that, I’ll promise you!

My chocolate chip cookie pie also reminds me of a pizookie and would taste amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Just throwing that suggestion out in the open. Take that for what you will…

If you do make this recipe please tag me on Instagram @DADAEATS and hashtag #DADAEATSTreats. I want to see the magic you make!

Enjoy!!

Avocado Cream Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes and Arugula (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

If you’re like me, then a grocery store is essentially your version of an amusement park. The fast track means you’ve somehow exercised enough restraint to pick up just 10 items or less and therefore you’re worthy of said checkout line, and the roller coaster adrenaline rush can really kick in anywhere (for me, it’s usually around the baking aisle (or maybe around the peanut butter. Or really any aisle? Honestly can we talk about those bulk bins though because they are majorly underrated, okay).

The Best Dal Ever (aka DADAEATS Coconut Curry Dal)

Okay I’m obsessed with dal. I truly think it one of the most versatile Indian dishes. It’s amazing with rice, with bread, or even alone as, well, a “lentil soup.” Indian dal is basically the OG version of lentil soup right?

Levain Bakery Inspired Cookies (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free!)

If you’re unfamiliar with Levain Bakery or their iconic cookies, you’re missing one of the primary motivations by my living in New York City. These cookies are famous not just because of how aesthetically pleasing they are, but also because of their 6 oz weight, unmatched taste, and ridiculous texture. They are THE chocolate chip cookie.

“One Banana Only” Banana Bread Muffin Tops (Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)

I’m going to explain to you all exactly how this recipe was born. Cut to my kitchen counter, on top of which I had this lone banana, just sitting there and ripening for a week. It was honestly just staring at me, begging to be baked with, but I was obviously ignoring its helpless cries to be used. Until one Saturday morning when I had a (common) craving for banana bread. I knew I had only this one banana available and decided to make it work.
