A hearty and healthy sunbutter chocolate chip cookie. It is dairy free, gluten free, egg free, corn free, and soy free. Made with hearty gluten free flours, chia seeds, and of course sunbutter.
Equipment
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 large mixing bowl with beater attachments
- measuring cups, spoons,
- glass measuring cup for melting coconut oil
- parchment paper
- small cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 75 grams almond flour
- 13 grams buckwheat flour
- 3 grams tiger nut flour
- 1/4 C gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp psyllium husk powder
- 1/8 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp chia seeds
- 1 TBSP water
- 75 grams coconut sugar
- 30 grams refined coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
- 50 grams Sunbutter spread approx 1/4 C
- 1/3 C mini dairy free chocolate chips Enjoy Life
- 1 TBSP water-to be added to dough AFTER fridge time
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, mix almond flour, buckwheat flour, tiger nut flour, oats, baking soda, pysillium husk powder, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and 1 TBSP water. Let stand 1-2 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, add coconut sugar, slightly cooled coconut oil, chia see/water mixture, and sunbutter. Mix well with hand mixer using beater attachments.
- Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add mini dairy free chocolate chips and mix well. The dough will still appear crumbly and like it won't stick together unless you squish it together with your hands. Don't worry. After the fridge time, you will add that last TBSP of water.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Prep sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from fridge and add the remaining 1 TBSP of water. Mix well.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop 15 small cookie dough scoops onto the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes on center oven rack. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Repeat for remaining dough. **I recommend only baking one sheet at a time and only baking on the center oven rack.
- This will make about 22 small cookies. If you want to make larger cookies, extend the bake time as you see fit.
Notes
Tiger Nut flour is an awesome grain free flour. Just a little adds a lot of depth of flavor to your baked goods. I highly recommend using it in this recipe. BUT if you just don't have any, just add a little more almond or buckwheat flour.
