Einkorn Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
So, let’s take cookies: think about Homemade and Healthy! I have adjusted and altered my standard recipe to reflect my desire to have delicious and nutritious cookies…ones that taste incredibly great but are also pretty healthy.
It is important to only slightly adjust the sugars and flours in your original recipe so your cookies still bake nicely. Plus, substituting a little bit of an alternative sweeteners can made an additional difference.
I try to use organic ingredients whenever possible….along with using a variety of wholesome oils and shortenings.
While I am not a strict purist, I do try to work with natural whole food ingredients that I feel have good nutritional value……therefore helping keep my family on the path to health!
See what you think…..please leave a comment below with any healthy changes you have made to your favorite cookie recipes!
Wholesome Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup Ghee or Butter or Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Avocado Oil
- 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
- 1/4 cup Stevia Blend Sweetener
- 1/4 cup Demerara Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (optional if cookie dough seems dry)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
⇒Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
FIRST:
Combine Ghee or Butter or Peanut Butter with 1/4 cup Avocado Oil, coconut sugar, Stevia blend, Demerara sugar & additional 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
NEXT:
Add the vanilla extract and egg. Once this is thoroughly combined, add the rolled oats, flours and baking soda. I leave out the salt due to the sodium content of baking soda, but feel free to add the 1/4 teaspoon, if so desired.
- 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Einkorn All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Einkorn Whole Wheat Flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (if desired)
STIR IN:
The chocolate chips and nuts, if you are using. Combine well.
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup ‘Semi-sweet Chocolate Chip
- Plus, 1/2 cup of any type of nuts you would like!!!
Finally, please, please, please do a test cookie!!! Then, drop one test cookie on your baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes and see how it looks. Since we like chewy chocolate chip cookies, I, therefore, do not add too much flour in the beginning.
The humidity in your kitchen plays a huge roll in how much flour and liquids you need in each recipe. I almost always have to readjust the flour so do not skip this step.
Once your test cookie is coming out the way you like, then start baking cookies!!!
This recipe makes about 3 to 4 dozen wholesome cookies. As a result of these cookies being so easy to make and so easy to eat, consequently, I bake them quite often; feel free to double the batch for more cookies…….Enjoy!!
