This post is sponsored by Prasada Foods. I’m thrilled to be partnering with such a great company that is deeply invested in sustainable farming, fair trade practices, and providing high-quality food! As always, all opinions expressed are my own.

Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Anyone who knows me will tell you that my love for chocolate chip cookies runs deep. It’s rare for me to go longer than a few days without one and we almost always have homemade dough in the fridge or freezer ready to pop in the oven. I can’t help it, I love what I love!

Refined Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

This lenten season, Brent and I both gave up refined sugars. We don’t give Camila refined sugars very often and we are always trying to improve our health, so this seemed like a good change. I recently purchased the Sweet Laurel Cookbook and I can’t recommend it enough! It’s full of delicious whole food, grain-free, and refined sugar-free desserts. One of my favorite recipes in this cookbook is the chocolate chip cookie recipe (no surprise there!) Unfortunately, it contains almond flour and Brent is allergic to almonds. Therefore, I decided to try to adapt the recipe so our whole family could enjoy it!

Allergen-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies

It took some trial and error, but I think I have finally found the right combination of ingredients to make these healthy chocolate chip cookies also allergen-friendly. I subbed almond flour with oat flour, which required some changes in the amount of oil. I used Prasada Foods Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, which baked wonderfully and didn’t have a strong coconut flavor. I also love the convenience of the large bottle size options for this oil because we go through a lot of coconut oil when baking.

Allergen-Free Snacks for School

To make this recipe completely allergen-friendly be sure to use gluten-free oat flour and also allergen-free chocolate chips. If you don’t have oat flour you can simply grind rolled oats in a food processor or blender until it’s a fine powder consistency. If you do this and you notice the dough is dry you might need to add a bit more oil. In order to make the recipe fully free of refined sugars be sure to use chocolate chips or a chopped up chocolate bar made from coconut sugar, stevia, monk fruit, etc. (we love Hu Chocolate).

Healthy Cookies for Toddlers

These are the perfect chocolate chip cookies to bake and enjoy with the entire family, especially toddlers. One of my favorite parts is the fact that the cookie dough is completely safe to eat when raw, which is something Millie really enjoyed! And I cannot express how easy they are to make, it only takes 1 bowl and a few minutes! They’re also wonderful for school events or parties since they are free of the top 8 allergens.

Prep Time8 minutes mins
Cook Time10 minutes mins

Cuisine: American
Keyword: Allergen-free, Cookies, Dairy-Free, Dessert, Gluten Free, Healthy, Refined Sugar-Free, Snacks
Servings: 14 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour (If you don't have oat flour you can grind oats in a food processor/blender.)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (Be sure to choose allergen-free and refined sugar-free chocolate if necessary.)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, salt, baking soda, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. If you don't have oat flour you can grind oats to a soft powder using a food processor or blender. The dough will be soft and crumbly. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Place scoops of dough (about 1.5 tbsp sized) on the baking sheet and gently press down to flatten. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer indefinitely.

Notes

  • If necessary, be sure to use gluten-free oat flour and also allergen-free chocolate chips.
  • This recipe is adapted from the Sweet Laurel Cookbook “classic chocolate chip cookies” recipe.

How to Always have Fresh Cookies on Hand🍪 Bein How to Always have Fresh Cookies on Hand🍪

Being the cookie lover that I am, I make it my goal to always have fresh cookies available - You’ll never know when you’ll want/need one. The end of a long day? To celebrate something at work? For a friend having a rough week? Cookies, cookies, cookies…always the answer🍪🍪🍪

Here are the rules I follow & some storage tips:
1. When making cookie dough, don’t bake all of it at once, unless you know you’re going to eat it all within 48 hours. Instead, bake what you will eat during that time and store the remainder in the fridge. Fresh > 3 days old.
2. Store cookie dough in the fridge for up to 5 days. It doesn’t need to be rolled into balls for this step. 
3. After 5 days, if you have any dough left, roll it into balls, place it inside a ziplock, and freeze. Freeze for up to 3 months.
4. To bake from frozen, I simply follow the recipe’s instructions and add a few minutes if they look like they need it.
🤍TIP: Plan on doubling the dough of your favorite recipes anytime you make them. It’s so much easier to make twice the amount at once and store it rather than making it two separate times.
🤍TIP: Write the date on top of the fridge container with a dry erase marker to track when it needs to be frozen. Write the name of the cookie dough along with the date in permanent marker on the frozen ziplock bag. 
🤍TIP: For recipes that yield runny/very soft dough, form balls/discs of dough on top of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and place the sheet directly into the freezer. Once frozen, remove, transfer into ziplock bags, and place back in freezer (demonstrated in video). 

What am I missing? Do you have any additional cookie dough making/storage tips? If so, leave them in the comments!👇🏻
