Gluten-Free Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recently it was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.

 

When you hear that, how can you NOT bake cookies – chocolate chip cookies!

 

We decided to update our original gluten-free chocolate chip cookie, to make it a bit healthier.  I switched out some of the flours and added in coconut oil over the butter. A few more small tweaks and we had a new delicious cookie in our hands.  At our house, they didn’t last long!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 T organic applesauce
  • 4 T coconut oil (melted)
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 t. pure vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 T pure maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups oat flour
  • ½ cup oats
  • ¼ cup + 2 T millet flour
  • 2 T ground flaxseed
  • 2 t. cinnamon
  • ½ t. ground ginger (optional)
  • ¼ t. cloves (optional)
  • 1 ½ t. baking soda
  • 1 t. guar gum
  • Dash of sea salt
  • ½ - ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the applesauce, coconut sugar, vanilla and maple syrup.
  • Measure the flours and flaxseed into another bowl. Add the guar gum, baking soda and salt and mix well.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Then, pour the melted coconut oil on top and stir to combine.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and mix together. (Raisins, dried cranberries and nuts go well with this cookie also.)
  • Spoon the dough onto baking sheets, spread out evenly. Flatten into small circles with wet fingers.
  • Bake for 6 minutes, turn cookie sheet around in the oven and bake for another 6-7 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Cool on wire rack. (Makes about 2 dozen cookies)
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*You can easily make oat flour by grinding your oats in a food processor.
**If the dough is too wet, add a couple more tablespoons of oats to the mixture – not too much as it will dry out the cookie.
