Classic Nutella contains skin milk, meaning it is not suitable for a plant-based diet. But including Nature’s Store, there are several brands that make a vegan chocolate hazelnut spread. Nairn’s Biscuits – Dark Chocolate Chip Oat, Stem Ginger Oat, Mixed Berries Oat, Fruit & Spice Wheat Free Plain flour : As this is a cookie recipe and doesn’t need any raising agents, plain / all purpose flour is best! It makes for a delicious, buttery cookie! Nature’s Store also makes vegan “Nutella” in a tub, which includes palm oil, but according to the company it only uses RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certified palm oil. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown at the edges. You can even turn the tray half way through to ensure an even baking.

Make sure to keep them fresh by storing them in an air tight / sealed container in the fridge. Allow to sit at room temperature before serving. Best enjoyed within 3-4 days of making. Roll out the dough on a heavily floured worktop. Use a pumpkin shaped cookie cutter to chomp out shapes and place on a lined baking tray.Sugar : The sugar helps to sweeten the cookie. You also want to use the sugar, mixed with the pumpkin spice for the pumpkin sugar coating. Use a fine, white caster sugar. We believe great tasting plant based foods are the future for a healthier life and a healthier planet! YES. Use a good quality gluten-free flour blend for the cookie. my personal favourite is Doves Farm, available in store supermarkets such as ASDA or Sainsburys, or online.

There are so many products on the market that are ‘accidentally dairy-free’, or products that you would have thought DEFINITELY contain dairy. We’re sure you will be happily surprised by some of these! California-based food company Nutiva makes a vegan dark chocolate hazelnut spread with chia and flax seeds for added omega-3 fatty acid. Italian organic brand Rigoni di Asiago makes Nocciolata, a dairy-free “Nutella” that’s also palm oil-free. The headline is that jam and custard Co-op donuts are dairy-free. Yes, that’s right. Head to your local Co-op NOW!
