If you’re looking for a quick, easy and healthy fix for your chocolate cravings, you’ll find it in delicious spades with these buckwheat cookies that just happen to be toddler-friendly too!
Baked with protein-rich buckwheat flour, these cookies are naturally gluten-free, whilst jaggery and raw sugar ensure they remain free of refined sugar too. There is no butter or oil involved; instead A2 ghee lends a soft texture, keeping these cookies moist and full of all the vitamins essential to overall wellbeing. All the key ingredients in this recipe have been sourced from Conscious Food.
Indisputably-healthy, yes, but did I also mention that these buckwheat cookies taste like the real deal, delivering exactly the flavours and textures you’d want of a chocolatey dessert? Go on and get baking to find out! Watch the reel, here.
Healthy Chocolate Buckwheat Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp buckwheat flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp corn flour
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup A2 ghee, melted
- ¼ cup raw sugar
- ¼ cup powdered jaggery
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ cup chocolate chips/ chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper (if you’re using the latter, grease well).
- Pour the melted ghee into a mixing bowl, then whisk in the raw sugar and jaggery until fluffy.
- Whisk in the vanilla and milk.
- Sift in the dry ingredients (buckwheat flour, cocoa powder, corn flour, baking soda and a pinch of salt), then fold gently until your cookie dough comes together.
- Fold in the chocolate chips/ chocolate chunks.
- Form 4-5 large cookie dough balls of equal size, or 8-10 smaller balls (depending on preference). Press down gently with the palm of your hand (ensuring that there is about 2 inches space between the cookies)
- Sprinkle with sea salt (optional) and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges have just about set but the centre is still soft.
- Let the cookies cool down before reaching for your first one! If you can, wait for a few hours, as it takes a while for the flavours to fully set for this recipe!
