Paleo Chocolate Chips Cookies (gluten free, high fibre, high 'healthy' fat, no refined sugar)


Macros: 124 Cal, 9 Carbs, 10 Fat, 2 Protein, 5 Sugar, 3 Fibre 3

Recipe


  • 1 cup of coconut flour (you can find this at almost any health food store)
  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil
  • 3 tbs of raw honey (I substitute with Agave, which changes the macros slightly)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 3/4 cups chocolate chips
  • 2 TBSP Sugar Free Caramel Syrup


Instructions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Melt the honey and coconut oil together in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
  • In a large bowl mix together the coconut oil, raw honey, eggs, vanilla extract, caramel syrup and sea salt.
  • Stir in the coconut flour, shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
  • Line and baking sheet with parchment paper and roll out little tbs size balls of cookie dough. Place on the baking sheet and gently press down 
  • Bake for 12-15 or until golden brown.
  • Do not over-bake! Coconut flour is quite tricky to work with … it takes some time to get the hang of it but it's so worth it - it has a distinct, rich, delicious nutty flavour and is high in fibre!
