    Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Vegan and Gluten Free)

    Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Vegan and Gluten Free). Scrumptious Sugar Free Cookies. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! #vegan #chocolate #chunk #cookies

    Holy moly. I hit the cookie jackpot!

    Me and cookies haven’t always had the best relationship. Either they turn out really gummy from flaxseed or they crumble and fall apart. But not these little gems! We have a great new relationship now because of these Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies that are vegan and gluten free, and seriously scrumptious. I also feel more at peace having a cookie recipe I can rely on, especially for parties and such, LOL!

    They’re crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, which is something I’ve never been able to accomplish until this recipe! Eek! They are a dream come true. Maybe it’s the tahini?! Also we aren’t using any oil, just tahini.

    For sweetener, I used the Choc Zero Sugar-Free maple syrup, but you could use regular maple syrup or honey, if you eat it. I also used these sugar-free dark chocolate squares (they’re sweetened with monkfruit) and broke them up into pieces. Feel free to use your favorite chocolate bar for the chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips of course)! I also like Lily’s or Hu Kitchen chocolate bars. The rest of the ingredients are super simple like almond flour, flaxseed and hemp seeds.

    I consider these “superfood cookies”, and sometimes have them with my morning coffee or with almond milk for an afternoon treat. OH MY HEAVENS, they’re just too perfect. Go make them ASAP!

    Description

    Scrumptious and sugar-free chocolate chunk cookies that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! A real dream come true in vegan, gluten free cookie form.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water (a flax egg)

    1 cup almond flour

    1/4 cup hemp seeds (optional)

    1 teaspoon baking soda

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    pinch of sea salt

    3/4 cup tahini

    1/4 cup maple syrup (I use sugar-free Choc Zero maple syrup; can also use honey)

    30–40 drops of stevia (I use this one)

    chocolate bar, broken into pieces (I used 2 of the Choc Zero dark chocolate squares; can also use 1/2 chocolate chips)


    Instructions

    In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and water, and stir. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, hemp seeds, baking soda, cinnamon and sea salt together until well combined. 

    Stir in the flax egg mixture, tahini, maple syrup and stevia. 

    Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, to set.

    Using a cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet and gently press down to flatten, You should get 10 cookies. Next, press the chocolate chunks into the cookies.

    Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the sides are slightly golden.

    Remove from oven and let cool. Enjoy!

      as far as healthy cookies go, these rock !!! i loved them. super satisfying. i added enjoy life mini chips instead of chunks and pressed them into the tops of the cookies, but wished i had put them in the batter to get more chips bc they really elevated the flavor of the entire cookie.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️

- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
