The Best Gluten Free Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies I Ever Made

You are here: Home / Recipes / Healthy Desserts / The Best Gluten Free Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies I Ever Made

Last updated on October 20, 2019 By //  by Astrid 2 Comments

You may not believe me, but I have news about gluten-free cookies: Good news, and better news.

There is nothing better during the winter months than a nice warm cup of tea or your favorite milk, with a soft- chewy but also a guilt-free cookie.

It is cold outside and if like me you have been craving some warm delicious cookies, then you are in luck because these “healthified” cookies will simply– knock your socks off.   So, I decided to make these gluten free low carb, low sugar version, that was adapted from the  Vedgedout’s  Chocolate-Chip coconut almond cookie recipe.  Thanks, Somer. (Pay her a  visit she has amazing recipes).

The good news is that, not only are they moist and decadent, they are low in carbs and also have a low glycemic index (LGI).

I am so excited to be able to share this with you because these are in fact, the best gluten-free coconut chocolate chip cookies I ever made! As a bonus you get to nourish your body with two super healthy foods: Coconut and real Chocolate (cacao).

So to start off, I like to use fresh coconut for my coconut recipes. I feel that the texture and flavor is simply decadent.  Here is a picture of my fresh shredded coconut. I like my flakes chunky, but you can shred them smaller if you prefer.

Eating fresh coconut provides an array of vitamins and minerals here are few:

  • Fiber, omega-3 fatty acids (the good for your body fat)
  •  Calcium, potassium, iodine, zinc, magnesium, vitamin A
  • Vitamin B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12, and Vitamin D – just to name a few

A  few more reasons to add fresh coconut or coconut in any form for that matter.

I often get questions regarding the healthiest sugar alternatives.  My natural sweetener of preference are: Swerve Sweetener  which I often use in baking. Alcohol-free steviair?source=bk&t=healyounat 20&bm id=default&l=ktl&linkId=d092434343b07d8c3988a7254925f912& cb=1509060105385, maple syrup, and raw honey.  However, the reason I love swerve is because, it tastes delicious, measures just like sugar, and has zero calories. Therefore, making it Diabetic friendly and low glycemic.

Gluten Free Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Dry ingredients and my favorite all natural Swerve Sweetner

Now here is the end result.  decadent gluten-free, low carb, low sugar-healthy, and best gluten free coconut chocolate chip cookies I ever made!  Yum! Make these for any occasion with confidence because your family or guests will absolutely devour them.

  3. In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients. Mix together until combined. Then add the shredded coconut, crushed walnuts and the chocolate chips. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Line a cookie sheet with unbleached parchment paper and use a spoon to scoop the dough. If you want to get fancy use an ice cream scoop.

A site with a treasure trove of useful wellness information!

In recent years I have become aware of the misinformation about foods and medicines we have been taught for most of my life. I already feel the difference it makes to eat well. I enjoy food more now that it is home-cooked and flavorful with great spices and good fats.

My menopausal brain fog has cleared and the aches in my joints have been tremendously reduced. Our intestinal health has made a remarkable recovery. I also notice as a side benefit that our weight is stabilizing without extra effort.

Good information about relearning how and what to eat for health now that we know the corporate SAD is so unhealthy.

I was skeptical at first, but figured I had nothing to lose.   After doing my homework I found this site and purchased the Diabetes report.  I never looked back. I changed my life style, followed the advise from the report and today I am off of insulin shots, lost some weight, and continue improving. Thank you so much for showing us that there is ways around medication.
