If you have a serious sweet tooth or some intense food allergies, these grain-free cookies allow you to indulge while still retaining some semblance of health. Created by Monique from the health-focused food blog Ambitious Kitchen, these homemade Chickpea Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are safe for people who cannot tolerate regular gluten-laden flour. The gluten and grain-free cookies are also a vegan recipe, so they are great for people with a limiting lifestyle too.
To try them at home you will need coconut oil, coconut sugar and a dark chocolate bar among other ingredients. You could also use garbanzo bean flour in place of the chickpea flour. For topping, feel free to sprinkle some sea salt on there as well.
This sweet snack shows the increasing preference for people to have gluten-free options, even without suffering from a digestive issue.
