Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start, make sure to have these essentials on hand:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

Feel free to substitute the maple syrup with honey based on your preference, or use a sugar-free syrup for an even lower-carb option!

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, egg, and maple syrup or honey until well blended.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a dough forms, then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving, so they hold their shape but remain warm and gooey.

Best Way to Serve

These cookies are delicious on their own, but if you really want to elevate the experience, serve them warm with a dollop of whipped cream or alongside a scoop of your favorite low-sugar ice cream. For a little added flair, consider sprinkling some sea salt on top after baking for that perfect sweet-and-salty combo.

Storing Leftovers

To keep your No Sugar Added Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, they freeze beautifully! Just make sure to let them cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy one (or two), simply thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Pro Chef Tips

  • Incorporate nuts: For an added crunch and healthy fats, try tossing in some chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Chill the dough: If you have time, chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can enhance flavor and texture.
  • Softened coconut oil: Make sure your coconut oil is melted and slightly cooled to prevent cooking the egg when combined.

Creative Twists

Feel free to experiment with flavors! You can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor or mix in some spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg, for a seasonal touch. Consider adding dried fruit like cranberries or cherries for a different fruity spin, or switch up the chocolate chips for butterscotch or peanut butter chips for variety!

Your Questions Answered

How long does it take to make these cookies?
From start to finish, you can whip up a batch in about 30 minutes, including baking time.

Can I substitute almond flour with regular flour?
While you can use regular flour, the texture and flavor will change. Almond flour adds moisture and a unique taste that’s hard to replicate.

What’s the best way to ensure these cookies come out soft?
Avoid overbaking! Check them at the 10-minute mark. They should still look slightly underbaked in the center when you take them out, as they will firm up while cooling.

Whether you’re trying to cut back on sugar or just looking for a delicious new treat, these No Sugar Added Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are bound to become a favorite in your baking repertoire. Enjoy the experimenting and results!
