Chewy Grain Free Nut Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Print recipe

Grain free, nut free & gluten free, but definitely not boring! These cookies are free of many common allergens and are made with cassava and tigernut flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup tigernut flour
  • 2 tbsp cassava flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tbsp avocado or melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup vegan mini chocolate chips (I use this brand)

Recipe

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Add tigernut flour, cassava flour, baking soda and sea salt to a bowl. Mix.

  3. Step 3

    Add maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce and oil and combine using a rubber spatula.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in chocolate chips.

  5. Step 5

    Scoop out dough using a tablespoon. Roll into balls using your hands and place on prepared baking sheet.

  6. Step 6

    Gently press on each cookie with your fingers to flatten slightly.

  7. Step 7

    Bake for 13 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy.

  8. Step 8

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Common Questions & Swaps

  • I cannot guarantee that by swapping out any of the flours with another kind will yield a successful result. However, I know that cassava flour can be swapped with green plantain flour.

  • Maple syrup can also be swapped with another liquid sweetener like honey, vegan honey or agave.

  • No apple sauce? I think pureed pumpkin or mashed banana could be a great swap here.
