Are you looking for a healthier, vegan and gluten-free cookie recipe? These Chocolate Chunk Cookies are for you! In case you’re hesitant, let me assure you, these cookies are NOT GRITTY. I’m not gluten-free but I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to inhale an entire batch of these.
GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
Chocolate chunk over chocolate chip? I don’t know about you, but more chocolate = better, in my books. Also, chocolate bars get more melty and soft when baked while chocolate chips tend to hold their shape and are less soft and I prefer the texture of chocolate chunks. If you wanted, or only had chocolate chips on hand, you could easily substitute them in this recipe.
VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE
It can be challenging to find recipes that are both vegan and gluten-free but thankfully, I got you covered. What I like most about this recipe is that it doesn’t require a gluten-free flour blend. All you need is brown rice flour and almond flour.
RICE FLOUR
What’s even better, rice flour is super affordable. You can buy it in bulk or find it in the ethnic sections of many grocery stores! For this recipe, I used brown rice flour but regular rice flour should work just as well. In case you don’t want to run out to the store to grab it, I’ve linked another great option below.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:
- Brown rice flour
- Almond flour
- Coconut sugar
- Coconut oil
- Ground flaxseed
