Healthier & easy olive oil chocolate chip cookies

This is one of those cookie recipes that will leave you speechless once you try it. Olive oil in baked goods is seriously underrated. Olive oil creates perfect moisture AND gives a rich and smooth flavor to baked goods.

These olive oil chocolate chip cookies leave me feeling speechless after every bite. Their texture is thick and tender, and they maintain their perfect texture for days, rather than drying out. 

They’re also perfectly balanced as they call for less sugar than the usual cookie recipe. They’re also naturally free of gluten, dairy, nuts, refined sugars, and made with healthy fats, which makes them perfect to fit most diets while also indulging!

Olive oil in cookies might sound strange, but I promise you won’t even feel its taste. Plus, who doesn’t want healthy fats packed with omega-3 in desserts?

Ingredients you’ll need

  • Olive oil – our star ingredient!
  • Coconut sugar – can sub for brown sugar
  • Eggs – this will help the dough come together.
  • Oat flour – you can easily finely ground your quick oats, just make sure they’re certified gluten-free. 
  • Vanilla extract – for flavor
  • Baking soda – to help the cookie rise.
  • Baking powder – to help the cookie rise.
  • Salt – to balance the flavors

How to make olive oil chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

As most of you know, black beans are one of my favourite foods. So it was just natural to make these black bean brownies. They are incredibly moist, soft, and fudgy and have become one of my favourites. I’ve tried them several times and I’ve finally found the perfect ingredient ratio. Don’t worry they don’t taste like black beans!

These are gluten free, low in sugar, and high in protein and fiber. Can’t wait for you to try them!
