Can I use coconut oil instead of vegan butter in snickerdoodle bars?

Yes, you can substitute coconut oil for vegan butter in snickerdoodle bars. However, keep in mind that coconut oil has a different texture and flavor compared to vegan butter, so the bars may turn out slightly different. Make sure the coconut oil is softened but not melted before using it in the recipe.

Can I use a gluten-free flour blend to make vegan snickerdoodle bars?

Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend to make vegan snickerdoodle bars. However, gluten-free flours may behave differently than all-purpose flour, so you may need to adjust the recipe slightly. Be sure to use a gluten-free baking powder and baking soda as well.

Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts to vegan snickerdoodle bars?

Yes, you can add mix-ins like vegan chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to vegan snickerdoodle bars for extra flavor and texture. Fold them into the dough before shaping the bars into balls for even distribution.

How do I know when vegan snickerdoodle bars are done baking?

Vegan snickerdoodle bars are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and set in the center. They should have a slightly soft and chewy texture in the middle. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of the bars; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the bars are done.
