If you’re looking for a wholesome way to satisfy your sweet tooth you will LOVE these Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies! They are free of refined sugar, refined flour, and gluten, but they are surprisingly sweet, buttery, and delicious!
I’m a firm believer that dessert should be indulgent and decadent and something that we enjoy in moderation. I don’t usually reach for healthy desserts (I’ll take the real deal or nothing at all), BUT I quickly fell in love with these cookies! We’ve blown through three batches in the last week and once you taste them you’ll see why.

Why you’ll love this recipe
Texture: Crisp edges, soft centers, and chewy all throughout.
Flavor: Buttery and sweet with a hint of chocolate, maple, and vanilla.
Nutrient dense: Packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats, and Omega 3s.
Made with real “whole food” ingredients: Nuts, nut butter, maple syrup, oats, and more!
Quick and easy: The dough comes together in minutes and only requires a quick 15-minute chill time.
Key ingredients
Almond butter: This recipe uses a combination of almond butter and a small amount of regular butter. This helps with the texture and flavor of the cookies.
Coconut sugar and maple syrup: These two unrefined sugars are used in place of traditional white or brown sugar. Not only do they make the cookies sweet but they also add great flavor.
Almond flour, oats, and cornstarch: This combination of dry ingredients is used in place of all-purpose flour. They make the cookies soft and chewy and help to hold everything together.
Dark chocolate and walnuts: You can use any mix-in you’d like, but I think walnuts and dark chocolate are perfect in this cookie dough.
