Easy Healthy Rice Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 cup Brown Rice Flour (or blend of white rice flour + tapioca) 1/4 cup Oat flour or extra rice flour (for structure) 1/2 tsp Baking soda 1/4 tsp Salt 1/2 cup Runny Almond Butter or Coconut Oil (melted) 1/2 cup Maple syrup 1 tsp Vanilla extract 1/2 cup Vegan chocolate chips Instructions Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk the almond butter (or coconut oil), maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips. Shape & Bake: Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your fingers or a spoon. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Cool: Let them cool on the sheet for 5-10 minutes to firm up (rice flour cookies can be fragile when hot). thevegan8.com +2 Tips for Success Texture: If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 15 minutes before shaping. Refined-Sugar Free: Use 100% pure maple syrup and unsweetened chocolate chips for a truly refined-sugar-free option. Chewiness: Using roasted almond butter makes these cookies incredibly fudgy and moist. Binding: Because rice flour is gluten-free, using an egg (or a flax egg) helps bind the cookies, but almond butter/tapioca acts as a good vegan alternative.
