Vegan Blueberry Muffin Top Cookies

These cookies are pillowy soft and reminiscent of what many people feel is the best part of every muffin… the muffin top! These cookies are low fat, and sugar free - so these are muffins that you don't have to feel guilt for indulging. If you prefer, the applesauce can be replaced with vegan butter for a richer cookie, or mashed banana for a denser cookie. Any combination of these three (applesauce, mashed banana, or vegan butter) makes for a lovely cookie. You can find more sugar-free recipes like this one and more over on our blog or check out Natvia's archive of dessert videos over at Healthy Treats!
