Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cranberry Nut Cookies
A Message From Our Nutritionist
These Gluten-free cookies are really easy to make and are on the healthier side. I find most cookie recipes use too much sugar and fat. Treats in moderation!
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 10-12 min
Portions: 10
Ingredients
-
⅓ Cup coconut flour
-
¼ Cup dark chocolate chips
-
2 eggs (at room temperature)
-
¼ Cup melted coconut oil
-
¼ Cup honey
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
pinch sea salt
-
⅛ Cup chopped walnuts
-
⅛ Cup chopped dried cranberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, blend melted coconut oil and eggs, honey and vanilla.
- Add coconut flour, salt and combine.
- Mix in chocolate chips, cranberries and walnuts.
- Form 10 cookies (as they will not spread while baking).
- Bake 10-12 mins. Cool and transfer to a sealed container.
NUTRITIONIST’S TIP:
These cookies are a perfect gluten free snack. They could also be vegan by replacing regular chocolate chips with a vegan chocolate chip and honey for maple syrup. They don’t last very long without getting stale, maybe 2 days. You could easily substitute another type of nut for the walnuts or sub raisins for the dried cranberries.
