Chewy, nutty gluten free chocolate chip cookies are made with almond flour and oat flour.
Whether you follow a strict gluten free diet or not, these chocolate chip cookies will be a hit with the whole family. Soft and chewy with the perfect salty sweet balance, they satisfy every chocolate chip cookie craving in the book.
The good news? For less than 100 calories apiece, these cookies fit in perfectly with all of those healthy habits we’ve been working hard to maintain. ;-)
We are not a gluten-free household but I recently discovered a love for baking with almond flour when I created Almond Flour Berry Muffins. The subtle almond flavor is a match made in heaven for chocolate and walnuts.
Tip: Cookies will have a softer consistency than you may be used to when baking with wheat or white flour. Additionally, the batter is thick so I recommend using your fingers to flatten the dough a bit before baking.
One last word of caution: keep an eye out for cookie thieves! They are everywhere!
Easy Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour
- 1 cup oats (gluten free)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 4 tablespoons softened butter (unsalted)
- ½ cup natural apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and line several baking sheets with silicone baking sheets or parchment; set aside.
- In a food processor or blender, puree the oats to create oat flour then place in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together oat flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a stand mixer on medium-high speed, cream together butter and sugar until smooth – about 2 minutes. With the mixer on medium, add egg, vanilla and apple sauce. Mix until smooth using a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides as you go.
- Over medium speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until all ingredients are incorporated (being careful not to over mix.)
- Remove bowl from stand mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Using a small cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop the cookies on to the lined baking sheets being careful not to crowd.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.
