Superfood Chocolate Chip Chia Cookies You’ll Love

These chocolate chip chia cookies have been by GO TO all season long. They’re made with simple, feel-good ingredients like chia seeds, oats, almond flour, and dark chocolate.

They’re sweet, chewy, and way more satisfying than your average cookie—because they’re actually kind of good for you too.

Antioxidant Rich Ingredients

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds might be small, but they’re loaded with omega-3s, fiber, and antioxidants. They help keep your heart happy, your energy steady, and your digestion on point (source). Plus, they add a little crunch to these cookies that makes them extra fun to eat.

I added a full 1/4 cup to really amp up the fiber. I was afraid that they’d make the dough gummy, but they didn’t affect it at all. They gave that nice crunch without being overwhelming.

Organic Oats

Oats bring that hearty texture and are packed with fiber to keep you feeling full and satisfied. They’re also great for keeping your energy steady, making these cookies a perfect pick-me-up when you need it most.

Almond Flour

Almond flour is naturally gluten free and has tons of with healthy fats and vitamin E, which are great for your skin and overall health. It gives these cookies a slightly nutty flavor and that perfect soft texture.

Dark Chocolate

Any excuse to add chocolate, right? It’s full of antioxidants that help fight stress on your body while giving these cookies their rich, indulgent flavor. Look for chocolate with 70% cacao or higher to maximize its antioxidant content and rich flavor.

Maple Syrup

Instead of refined sugar, I used maple syrup for sweetness. Not only does it taste amazing, but it also brings some natural minerals like zinc and manganese which support your immune system and help reduce inflammation.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 Cup Almond Flour
• 1/2 Cup Oat Flour If you don't have oat flour, simply blend whole oats in a blender for 15 seconds until its a fine powder.
• 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
• 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 Cup Melted Coconut Oil
• 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup Or, 1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1/3 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, rolled oats, chia seeds, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon.
3. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or coconut sugar), vanilla extract, and egg
4. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
5. Place on Cookie Sheet: Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls or use a small cookie scoop.
6. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven but will firm up as they cool.
7. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

I personally don’t need any excuse to make a batch of cookies but knowing these are made with healthy, nutrient-packed ingredients makes them even better.
