Description
This vegan gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe is more like a healthier version of your favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. They are naturally sweetened and made with rolled oats and almond butter.
Ingredients
¼ cup gluten-free rolled oats
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup pitted dates, chopped
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup almond butter
⅓ cup chocolate chips or carob chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Place all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to stir and mash the dates together with the other ingredients. Once a dough forms, stir in the chocolate chips. For a crispier cookie, chill the dough for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Place a tablespoon-size ball of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten the edges to make a nice cookie shape. Repeat with remaining dough to form 12 cookies. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned. Cool before serving.
