Whether you have a food intolerance for celiac disease, or you’ve decided to cut gluten from your diet in order to live a healthier life like those who follow the paleo diet, everyone deserves a tasty cookie now and again!

This gluten free, low sugar cookie recipe shows that being free from traditional ingredients doesn’t mean free from flavor! These cookies are delicious and super healthy.

They substitute in coconut sugar instead of refined sugar meaning they are lower in GI than those using traditional sweeteners and they use peanut butter rather than margarine, so they are packed with healthy fats. Also, they have an excellent 3.5 grams of protein per cookie, making them the perfect post workout treat!

So, what is coconut flour? Dried coconuts is the only single ingredient in coconut flour. It is milled into a fine texture which resembles your normal flour. The best thing is that it doesn't contain any gluten. Coconut flour is rich in fiber, in iron, potassium and protein.

We may have seen that sometimes cookie recipes even using coconut flour make use of other flours like wheat flour, white flour, tapioca flour and so no. Our recipe wholly uses only coconut flour. Thus, making it gluten- free, dairy free.

Moreover, as these cookies are dairy free and paleo friendly, no matter what diet you follow, these are a little bit of sweetness that everyone can enjoy.
