Gluten Free Sugar Free Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies

Grain-Free Sugar-Free Brown “Sugar” Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s been raining alligators and mosquitoes here in Florida! (That’s kind of similar to raining cats and dogs, but more of a humid swamp version.) With all that rain comes the desire to stay indoors and binge watch some shows. And with the binge watching comes the desire to snack. Of course, my desire to maintain a healthy diet is also in the forefront of my mind, so I decided to make some sweet treats I could snack on and still feel good about – Grain-Free Sugar-Free Brown “Sugar” Chocolate Chip Cookies.

These cookies are crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside – just the way a good chocolate chip cookie should be! But what’s even better is that they are grain-free (using almond flour) and sugar-free (using Swerve). If you haven’t heard of Swerve, it’s time you listen up! Swerve is a natural sweetener that is zero calorie, non-glycemic, and can be used cup-for-cup in place of sugar … with no aftertaste. It comes in Brown (which I used in this recipe) as well as Granular and Confectioners. It’s great for diabetics and people on the Keto diet. To keep these completely sugar-free, I used Lily’s chocolate bars, which are sweetened slightly with stevia. I coarsely chopped the bars, but you could also use sugar-free chocolate chips.

Another tip: use a small ice cream scoop to portion the cookies, this way they are all the same size and it is much easier.

    I didn’t know you could solely use almond flour in a recipe. I thought it replaced some of the other grain flours. Good to know.
