How To Make Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies
You need to follow only a few steps to make these super delicious cookies:
- Turn the oven to 350˚F, and prepare a baking sheet, lining it with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Mix together both types of flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the butter with coconut sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and mix well.
- Add chocolate chips. Place the dough into the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Make the balls, and slightly flatten them. Place them into a baking sheet, leaving some space between cookies. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until light golden color. Transfer to cooling racks and let cool before serving.
Ingredients
- Oat flour. Oat flour gives great texture, and contains fiber and protein, making cookies filling and nutritious.
- Whole wheat flour is made from whole wheat kernel, and does not undergo heavy processing, therefore it is much healthier than white flour.
- Coconut sugar to sweeten the cookies. This sugar is unrefined, thus healthier than white sugar, and has slightly caramel hints.
- Butter, unsalted and softened at room temperature.
- Egg adds moisture and helps to bind the dough together.
- Vanilla is for flavor.
- Baking soda and baking powder. Combination of leavenings to create the perfect texture.
- Chocolate chips. Of course, it’s an essential ingredient for any chocolate chip cookie recipe. Choose chocolate chips of your favorite brand or break up a chocolate bar.
Easy ingredient swaps
To make a gluten-free version, you can substitute whole wheat flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Make sure that the blend contains xanthan gum. And make sure that the oat flour is labeled gluten-free to make the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.
As a sweetener we use coconut sugar, which is a healthier alternative to regular white sugar. If you wanna make sugar free version of cookies, feel free to substitute coconut sugar with Swerve sweetener of the same amount. Or add another type of sugar of your choice, in all cases, cookies will turn out great.
Wanna swap chocolate chips? It’s ok too, feel free to substitute them with an equal amount of dried cranberries or raisins, and you will get super delicious healthy cookies with dried fruits! Or use walnuts, hazelnuts, or other nuts to add healthy fats and get healthy nut cookies.
Storage Instructions
Store the cookies in an airtight container with a lid at room temperature. They’ll keep for two or three weeks.
