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.

I’ve rediscovered buckwheat flour as an alternative gluten free baking flour. It is a much healthier alternative than some other gluten free flours like rice and potato. It is lower glycemic, so won’t cause a blood sugar spike. Buckwheat is full of fiber and protein. It also contains vitamins and minerals like manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, niacin, zinc, folate, and vitamin B6.
It’s a little different flour to use. It should not be substituted 1:1 for regular flour, but substituting 25% of the regular flour in a recipe should work.

1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup Buckwheat Flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips of choice
sea salt for sprinkling, optional

Preheat oven to 350.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease a cookie sheet.

Melt the chocolate and butter.
Stir occasionally until melted; stir in maple syrup, coconut sugar and vanilla. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
In separate bowl, stir together the Buckwheat flour with baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add the cooled chocolate mixture.
Add the eggs. Stir to combine well. Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by half tablespoons onto the parchment paper. Sprinkle with sea salt, if using.

Bake for 8 – 10 minutes.
