Gluten Free Almond Cookies

If you have these 4 pantry essentials: almonds, coconut oil, dark chocolate, and some liquid sweetener, you can make these cookies.

Yes, dark chocolate is a pantry essential. It’s a great source of minerals including magnesium, iron, potassium, copper and manganese, all of which are essential to achieving optimal health.

Almond meal, which is basically ground whole almonds, is a great substitute for wheat flours because it is a good source of both fibre and protein.

Sugar is pretty minimal here, you only need a few tablespoons of your favourite liquid sweetener, like agave or fructose-free brown rice malt syrup. Perfect if you’re watching your sugar intake.

These gluten-free, vegan cookies are a great alternative to store brought baked goods full of processed ingredients and fillers. You can whip up a tray of these in less than a half hour, and the other bonus is, they only require one bowl and no food processor or blender, which means less cleaning!
