Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free and Vegan!)
You know that feeling when you find a gem of recipe? When you take that first bite and for a moment you’re swallowed up by the goodness in your mouth? Yeah. These did that for me. Made with oats, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and stevia-sweetened chocolate chips theses beauties are gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free. Yep. You read that right.
Starts out by making your own oat flour, which is super easy so don’t be intimidated. I used my coffee grinder to get a more flour-like consistency, but a food processor would work well too.
I adapted the recipe just a hair from Basic with Bails recipe.
Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
A delicious, healthy twist on a chocolate chip cookie.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1½ cups oat flour (ground up gluten free oats in blender)
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2-3 tbsp coconut milk
- ¼-½ cup chocolate chips (Lily's brand, dairy free, normal, your preference)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To make oat flour: Add oats to a food processer and blend until flour-like. I used a coffee grinder and it works wonderfully.
- Add oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the coconut oil and coconut sugar until smooth. Add vanilla.
- Slowly add the flour mixture into the coconut oil and sugar mixture. Add coconut milk. If batter seems dry, use a wooden spoon or your hands to massage the dough together. Be careful not to add too much extra coconut milk or the cookies may not keep there shape!
- Using a 1 inch cookie scoop or scoop out 1 tbsp cookie dough onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges start to brown.
- Let cook for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
