Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
You can never go wrong with the classic chocolate chip cookie. But we've made a healthier, gluten-free version that still ensures soft, crumbly, and chocolatey goodness in each bite!
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- ⅓ cup canned chickpeas
- 1 cup dry rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 4 oz. unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. extra-virgin coconut oil
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips divided use
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350° F.
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; lightly coat with spray. Set aside.
-
Drain chickpeas; rinse. Set aside
-
Add oats to blender; cover. Blend until fine flour texture is reached.
-
Add almond flour, chickpeas, coconut sugar, applesauce, egg, chia seeds, extract, coconut oil, baking soda, and salt; cover. Blend until smooth. Fold in 2 Tbsp. chocolate chips.
-
Form dough into 12 equal balls; place on prepared sheet. Flatten each ball into a “cookie” shape, as the dough will not spread as usual during baking. Top cookies evenly with remaining 2 Tbsp. chocolate chips.
