Whole Wheat Oats Vegan Cookies

I had recently become a member of VegWorcester.com. This is a wonderful community promoting Vegetarianism and Veganism in the Worcester county area in MA. We are currently raising funds to bring out a new dining guide that shows a list of all Vegan and Vegetarian restaurants, and grocery shop in the area. As a part of the fund raiser program, we were hosting a bake sale in a farmer’s market in the locality.

Me, I have never been part of a bake sale. Heck, I have not so much as baked a cookie in my life from scratch (Those store bought Pillsbury ones don’t count). But still in all my infinite enthusiasm, I went ahead and promptly put down my name. The best part of this effort is to make them Vegan. Thus began my journey through to world of Vegan baking, which I must say, needs a lot of talent, because it isn’t just butter, sugar and eggs.

After a lot of research and some thinking from my part, I settled on the following recipe from this blog. I took the recipe, and omitted the chocolate chips, coconut (as I didn’t have them at hand) and added in nuts for a variation. I made two batches, the fist one obviously being the sad little ones, that didn’t look anything like cookie, but taste amazing. The second one is the plain one with just Oats. Hope you enjoy baking it as much as I did. Given below is my account of how I did. Enjoy!

Busted Camera

Hello All,

The worst thing that could happen to you is to have your camera give up on your while on a scenic vacation. That is exactly what happened during ours. Sadly, my digital camera died and we had to buy throw away film camera to take photos.

We have been pampered so much with technology that it took a while to get used to the old fashioned camera. It did bring back nostalgia of taking careful photos and waiting for film development. The clarity, of course, is horrible.

Anyway, instead of trying to fix this, we had decided that we would take the plunge and order a new one. Hence the hiatus. I will try to post some old posts that I have archived, else, will meet you again with my new camera. Enjoy!
