I found this recipe for Maple Chocolate Chip Cookies over at Beauty that Moves, and let me tell you, these cookies are amazing. I have made them several times and shared them with lots of people and everyone that has tried them loves them. Here’s the recipe if you want to print it out and try them yourself:
Maple Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup flour (I use Pamela’s Gluten Free Pancake/Baking Mix)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chopped pecans (or sunflower seeds, or walnuts, or…?)
- rounded 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the oats, flour, salt, cinnamon and coconut in a bowl. In another bowl, combine and whisk together oil, vanilla and syrup. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until all is moistened. Fold in nuts and chocolate chips. At this point, if I have the time, I like to cover the dough and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes, but it isn’t essential. Form dough into equal-size balls, place on cookie sheet, gently press down balls (but don’t flatten), bake for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven, then remove from pan, let cool on a cooling rack.
**I only bake mine for about 12 minutes and they are done.
What I love about these cookies:
- Taste amazing.
- No refined sugar.
- Can be gluten free.
- Can be vegan (if you use vegan chocolate chips).
- Quick and easy to make.
- In my book…can be considered “healthy”.

I would have never thought to add maple to a chocolate chip cookie, plus it's healthier to boot! Great choice. I'm #48 in the challenge.

Delicious! Mine came out a little crumbly but I didn't mind too much because they tasted so yummy! Now, if I bought grain-sweetened chocolate chips, they'd really be free of sugar!

I made these today. I used whole wheat pastry flour + half tsp of baking powder because I figured that the baking mix in the recipe must have some kind of leavening. I also added an egg because the dough seemed too dry and crumbly.Make sure to wet your hands to make the balls to avoid everything from sticking to your fingers. They taste really good and they are pretty healthy!
Glad you liked them! Yes, the baking mix has baking powder and baking soda. They are pretty crumbly, did the egg help with that?
