What do I need to make gluten free vegan cookies?

Not much!

Honestly, you can make these cookies with under 10 ingredients, most likely things you have on hand if you are a vegan or gluten free baker anyways.

And, if you’re not. That’s okay too! They’re are some swaps you can use with the ingredients you likely have already on hand too.

For instance, here’s a little breakdown of what you’ll need and suitable swaps!

Almond Flour = All-Purpose Flour or Gluten Free Baking Blend

Oats

Baking Soda

Salt

Vegan Butter = Butter or Coconut Oil or Melted Nut Butter

Applesauce

Cane Sugar = Coconut Sugar or Brown Sugar

Almond Extract = Vanilla Extract

Vegan Chocolate Chunks = Chocolate Chips

As you can see some of the modifications will make these cookies more traditional (read they may not be gluten free or vegan anymore), but it all depends on what your dietary needs are!

How do I make these vegan gluten free cookies?

For a quick overview, watch this video!

First, start with getting all your ingredients together.

Then, go ahead and mix the dry ingredients together in as small bowl and the wet (including the butter, melted) in a larger bowl.

Slowly fold the dry into the wet ingredients, then add in the chocolate chunks.

Portion dough into 10 cookies, then place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Is this cookie healthy?

It’s low in added sugar (more about that here) and super satisfying, two things that I always look for when I think about the word healthy!

It’s also got a tad of protein and is lower in carbs than most cookies, making it a great choice as a pre-workout snack (even for a Spartan workout) too!

Alright, enough waiting! Let’s make these cookies!
