These low-calorie chocolate chip cookies are simple to whip up at home whenever you're in need of a nutritious treat.  

Craving a gluten-free and vegan treat that's irresistible? Our healthy chocolate chip cookies are the answer. They don't contain any dairy, eggs, or wheat but still taste as good as classic cookies because they don't use non-traditional ingredients like avocados or flax seeds.   

But lets’ deep dive... What are our little secrets?

  1. With a sieve, add the flour and baking powder to a bowl.  

  1. Melt the coconut oil and sugar on low heat. Stir frequently.  

  1. Add the oil mixture, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Combine well.  

  1. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate.  

Bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven. Make sure not to overbake these healthy vegan chocolate chip cookies.  

Is Venchi chocolate gluten-free? Yes, made from the finest ingredients, Venchi's dark chocolate is naturally gluten-free. It's the perfect fit for a healthy chocolate recipe like this one. We prefer chopped chunks to chocolate chips. They're more gourmet and deliciously ooze out once the cookies are baked.  

Depending on your preferences, you can swap out a few of the ingredients in this recipe without fuss. Feel free to use any type of milk. These low-fat chocolate chip cookies will still be moist and tasty. For an even healthier alternative, you can change the sugar for honey or maple syrup.  

Healthy chocolate chip cookies tips: 

  • Don't overmix the batter. Instead, be gentle and mix until all ingredients are well combined. It will guarantee fluffy cookies that sweet dreams are made of.  

  • Before adding the chocolate to the dough, make sure it's not too warm from the oil and sugar. You don't want it to melt before it gets to the oven.  

  • Keep a close eye on the cookies in the oven. Don't overbake them. They're ready once they turn a golden color. It's better to bake them a little under than over to guarantee a soft, gooey inside.
