This is the ultimate Low Allergen chocolate chip cookie recipe. It doesn’t have any egg, wheat flour, nut flour, nut milk or dairy. This cookie is also vegan and gluten-free. And the best part is that the substitute ingredients are extremely nutritious.
First of all, we have used soaked chia seeds as the egg replacement. Chia seeds are a highly nutritious superfood. A small number of chia seeds contain a rich amount of fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, minerals, and other micronutrients. They are also known as a significant source of antioxidants including myricetin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol. These antioxidants function as anticancer properties and protectors of the heart & liver. As a rich source of protein and fibre, chia seeds can make you feel full for a long time. Calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus can increase bone mineral density thus strengthening bone health. Chia seeds also help to maintain your blood sugar level.
We have used coconut flour as the wheat flour replacement. Coconut flour is a great source of plant-based protein. It also has a high volume of fibre and minerals including potassium and iron. The high fibre content in coconut flour ensures a great digestive system and good gut health. Coconut flour also helps to decrease triglyceride and cholesterol levels thus preventing heart diseases. It also ensures a healthy body weight and maintains blood sugar levels.
The butter replacement of the recipe is tahini. Tahini is made from toasted sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are a great source of different vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats. They decrease the risk of type-2 diabetes and different cardiovascular diseases. They contain different anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that can enhance our immunity. Tahini also protects our nerve cells and prevents brain damage by promoting brain health.
