By Gareth, Vegan ACT Just tried these out tonight. They’re pretty spectacular and REALLY easy to make. We had no Chia seeds so we subbed in the ground flaxseed (linseed) and they turned out great! We’ve got a fan forced oven and I turned the temp down by 10 but other than that it was all smooth vegan sailing :). Flourless Thumbprint Breakfast Cookies (Vegan + GF)
