Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Warm chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite things in this world so I am always trying out new recipes to make them a bit healthier but just as delicious. This one uses no refined sugar and ghee in place of butter. As I’m not vegan, I lean towards gluten free recipes rather than GF + vegan recipes as those those tend to use more sugar. These are super soft and rich, let me know what you think!

INGREDIENTS:
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1 cup almond or peanut butter, creamy
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I broke up a dark chocolate bar for bigger chocolate chunks)
- Dash of sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking tray with greased parchment paper
- Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl
- Mix with Kitchen Aid to make sure everything is evenly combined together
- Fold in chocolate chips and mix
- Form into 9-12 cookies and line baking tray, about 2 tablespoons per cookie
- Baking for 8-12 minutes, I wanted mine to be soft so I did 10 minutes total. Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
Healthy, Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have a soft spot for warm chocolate chip cookies so I am always experimenting ways to make them a bit healthier! These are made with almond flour and oats making them refined flour free and they are lower in sugar. I used coconut sugar which has a lower glycemic index in place of refined cane sugar. They definitely hit the spot!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup almond flour (can also use oat flour)
- 3/4 cup quick oats
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking pan with parchment paper
- Mix together all ingredients in a bowl. Melting the coconut oil makes it easier to stir
- Spoon out about 9 small cookies onto the baking sheet
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. They should be slightly browned on the edges and gooey in the middle
I would try to change the sugar below for Stevia but that might not work: will let you know how it turns out:
