Discover my almond flour chocolate chip cookies: a healthy, gluten-free, butter-free, and 100% vegan treat, perfect for a gourmet yet wholesome snack.
Ingredients
Serves : 4 servings
- 200 g almond flour (or ground almonds)
- 100 g maple syrup
- 50 g coconut oil
- 80 g chocolate chips
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Pour the maple syrup and melted coconut oil directly into the bowl.
Step 4
Mix well with a spatula until you obtain a smooth dough.
Step 5
Add the chocolate chips to the dough and stir gently to distribute them.
Step 6
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 8
Let them rest on the warm baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up. (Resting is crucial because the cookies are very soft when they first come out of the oven.)
Tips
- Use fine almond flour for an even more delicate texture.
- If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 20 minutes before forming the balls.
- Add shredded coconut or crushed hazelnuts for a variety of textures.
Substitutions
- maple syrup → honey or agave syrup — For a more budget-friendly version.
- ground almonds → fine almond flour — Makes the dough even smoother.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use another sweetener instead of maple syrup?
Absolutely! You can use honey (if not vegan), agave syrup, rice syrup, or even coconut sugar dissolved in a little water to maintain the liquid consistency.
Can I replace the coconut oil?
Yes, coconut oil can be replaced with a neutral vegetable oil (such as sunflower or grapeseed oil).
What should I do if the dough is too sticky to shape?
If the dough is too sticky, place it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to shape the cookies.
How should I store these cookies?
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them once baked and quickly reheat them in the oven before eating.
