These are my new favorite low sugar chocolate chip cookie recipe. It uses buckwheat flour which is low glycemic, so it won’t raise your blood sugar high like regular flours. Buckwheat flour can be a little tricky to find in stores. I usually buy Bouchard Family Farms buckwheat flour in Hannaford. It looks like Amazon has a bunch of other buckwheat flour options though.
2 tablespoons butter or ghee
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup Buckwheat Flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips, I like Aldi’s Belgian dark chocolate chunks
Preheat oven to 350.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease a cookie sheet.
Soften the butter or ghee.
Stir in the maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla and egg.
Add the Buckwheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Fold in dark chocolate chips or chunks.
Drop by half tablespoons onto the parchment paper.
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes.
