Healthy chocolate chip almond cookies
These cookies are made using healthy, low- carb, high protein almond flour. Totally guilt- free (vegan and gluten-free!) and so delicious. I have my healthy chocolate chip almond cookies with lactose-free milk or soy- milk. YUM!
In the city where I live it has been raining a lot lately, and today it started to snow. The wet and stormy weather made me crave for cookies. In fact I quite often crave for cookies. BUT I am like the cookie monster (My favorite cookie monster video is when he tries to bake Apple walnut cookies, here). I end up eating all my ingredients..! So I very rarely make it to the end. But this time I made it to the end with all the ingredients (although I have to admit that I started out with a bit more chocolate..), and the result; Healthy chocolate chip almond cookies!

Ser otroligt goda ut
Melt the coconut oil first?
Hei Veronika! Ja, jeg smelter kokosoljen på svært lav varme først. Lykke til og god påske!

Hi there. Is there a substitute for psyllium husk and rice syrup that you could recommend, as I don’t have these!?
Thank you!
Hi Stacey! Thanks for your comment! Yes, there is! Substituting brown rice syrup you can use honey or Agave syrup. Instead of psyllium husk you can Add the same amount of coconut flour, almond flour or chia seeds. Just make sure to not Add all the liquid all at once, Since you will need to check the consistence. Good luck! Cheers, Maria
