Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 26, 2012 by Sarah E. Brown

I decided it was finally time to attempt my own gluten-free vegan chocolate chip cookies from scratch, cookies that would be really legit so that I could serve it to very important people (my friends). In this recipe, I give the option to substitute coconut palm sugar and xylitol for traditional sweeteners, but feel free to use brown or any other sugar. I used a bit of all-purpose gluten-free flour in addition to almond and oat flour made in the Vitamix.

They were delicious and a really superb texture. Here’s the recipe!

Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1/4 cup All-purpose gluten-free flour mix

3/4 cup almond flour (I just vitamixed almonds using the dry blade)

1 cup gluten-free oat flour (I just vitamixed oats using the dry blade)

3 Tbs applesauce

1/2 cup coconut palm sugar or xylitol (or a combo of the two, if you’d like)

4-5 drops liquid stevia

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 Tbs coconut oil

1/4 cup water, or more if needed

1 Tbs “flax egg” which is 1 tbs ground flax (again, I vitamixed the seeds using dry blade) + 3 Tbs water

1/2 cup fair-trade vegan chocolate chips

1/4 cup cacao powder (optional if you’d like them to be double chocolate chip cookies)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degree. Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients. Add together and put on a pre-greased cookie tray/sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or longer if needed.

These look awesome! Do you know of any simple substitutes for the liquid stevia, though?

  you can just skip the stevia and add more of another sweetener of choice.

    Thanks! (I wasn’t sure how powerful/sweet those 4-5 drops would be…)
