Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Paleo + Vegan)
Gluten-Free, Paleo and Vegan, these soft baked Almond Flour Chocolate Chips cookies are an irresistible, healthier dessert. They're soft & chewy, have just the right about of chocolate chips and are so yummy! They freeze well too!
Servings: 15 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons apple sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips + extra for topping dark chocolate or dairy free semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper, set asid.
- In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry cutter, whisk or stand mixer, mix well to combine and make sure almond flour is fine and without clumps.
- Add coconut oil, maple syrup, applesauce and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Batter will be thick.
- Add chocolate chips and run mixer for just 10 seconds to combine.
- Divide batter into 15 equal pieces and place on baking sheet. Roll each piece into a ball and then gently flatten using your palm or the back of a measuring cup. Cookies will not spread much while baking. Bake for 10 minutes, or until edges are just golden.
- Let set on baking sheet for 5 minutes and enjoy!
- Store in an air tight container. I like to store my in the refrigerator. Freeze well as well.

Very easy and yummy recipe to cure the sweet tooth! Love that they don’t call for sugar! Mine had to cook closer to 15 minutes.
Happy you love them! Thank you!
Always looking for a new healthy choc chip cookie to try! These look so yum,, will most def be trying these! Question: would it be ok to use avocado or olive oil in place of the coconut oil? And does the coconut oil give it a coconutty taste? (I have a few little skeptics!) Thank you for your awesome recipes!
Great question! They do have a slight coconut taste between the coconut flour and oil. Coconut oil has unique properties because it melts and hardens…. not sure if they cookies will hold they’re form well with avocado or olive oil. Might be better with melted butter or dairy free butter. Let me know if you try them!
