If you’re looking for a gluten-free dessert that doesn’t compromise on taste, you’re in for a real treat. My Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are not only a delightful alternative to traditional cookies but are also incredibly easy to make, gluten-free, keto-friendly, and guilt-free!

I recently just finished a 45-day gut reset in the hopes of trying to balance out my hormones. I don’t know what it is, but I hit 35 and my body has gone all out of wack 😳.

One of the requirements in the gut reset was to avoid sugar of course, so when the reset ended I wanted to jump back into sweets slowly. So, I went back to this classic recipe I used to make when I was counting macros 🙂 I’ve baked these almond flour chocolate chip cookies countless times and have tweaked them more than once or twice to get them just right so I promise they won’t disappoint if you’re keen on a low-carb lifestyle.

Here’s the sweets:

Servings 12

Ingredients

2.5 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup coconut oil (or melted butter)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cups chocolate chips (use dairy-free chips for a vegan option)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the melted coconut oil (or softened butter) with the maple syrup (or honey), egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until a cookie dough forms.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to flatten each cookie slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are gluten-free and have a lovely nutty flavor from the almond flour. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sweetener, and use your favorite type of chocolate chips.
