healthy(ish) easy vegan baking recipes I tried during quarantine

I use to hate cooking. I am the type of person where when I'm hungry, I just need food in my mouth right away. I was never very intentional about what I was eating in terms of presentation or variety, especially when eating at home.

Now that we're on the 185432th day of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have allocated some time to learn to cook and bake.

I realized I never gave much thought to the process of cooking. If I can make something in 15 minutes, why would I take 30 to make something else? But now, with time oh-so bountiful, I have added-might I say so myself- quite the array of yummy treats into my repertoire of recipes.

A big roadblock I told myself was that if I bake cookies or brownies or cakes, I will to eat it all and it will not do good things to my body. That is still something I keep in mind, which is why the recipes below are healthier versions of treats I love.

After making a new recipe every week for the past few months, here are my top 5 vegan baking recipes that are delicious and easy to make!

1. goji berry almond cookies

2. chocolate zucchini loaf

3. granola clusters

4. 3 ingredient bread

5. oatmeal cookies
