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.
Suggested Recipes
Healthy Butter Chicken
Who doesn’t like butter chicken? But, the calories and fat content in traditional butter chicken are cringe-worthy. Look no further than this recipe to solve for that!
Hawaiian Fried Rice
This recipe came together because I had leftover rice and roast pork in the fridge. I’m not sure that it’s Hawaiian but the pork and pineapple combination is undeniably a perfect match.
Greek Style Chicken and Okra
I bet Okra is one of those vegetables that you overlook in the produce section. No need to anymore. This recipe is hearty like a stew and easy to prepare. Could be your next family favourite.
