Gluten Free, Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

525 Shares

This Saturday, I was CRAVING some cookies!

I’ve been wanting to try the whole “chickpea” cookie thing because the pictures of them are just awesome, but I really can’t stand the smell of garbanzo bean flour and I’ve also read that you can’t eat the chickpea cookies cold.

The gluten free flourless chocolate cupcakes I made in another post came out really well, and not having a bunch of flour makes assembly super easy.

These came out great – they were good as cookie dough, hot out of the oven and also the next day at room temperature.

Try them out, and let me know if you make any modifications by leaving a comment so other people know how to experiment too. I’ll post my future experiments and updates here as well!

Gluten-free, Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: about a dozen and a half cookies
UPDATED THIS RECIPE 5/1/2020 – perfection!

1 can white beans (drained, rinsed and lightly patted dry)
1/3 cup walnut or almond butter (peanut butter or sunbutter work great too)
1/4 – 1/3 cup ground chia seeds (optional, but adds more fiber and density to your batter)
1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)
1-3 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I use dairy free from Enjoy Life or similar)

Preheat oven to 350.
Add all the ingredients to the food processor (except chocolate pieces) and blend til smooth.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in chopped chocolate.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and spoon dough into even sized balls.
Bake for 12-18 min or until golden. I used a convection oven for these, and they baked quickly. The first batch I made I took out at 12 min, the second batch I left in longer. The cookies stay chewy and soft after baking, so don’t be alarmed. If you want them crisper, let them sit in a tin for a couple of days to dehydrate them slightly.

So Betty Rocker reminded me in class that it’s been a long time since I’ve shared progress pics.

It’s been a long time since I took them, in fact!! So here we are – I’m really pleased! I see myself as trimmer, more toned, and with better posture, and all these things delight me. Now I want to add muscle … and maybe a tan, lol.

I just wanted to email you to thank you again – I’ve been eating clean and training well and not depriving myself, and I legit see my (six) packs coming in! And some of my jeans fit!

I have a lot to thank you for. I make your shakes and your other dishes, and I am happy with what I put in my mouth because it shows in my body!

When my reasons for training and eating healthy shifted to being more about how I felt inside than how I looked outside, everything fell into place.
.
I continue to take pride in my appearance, but now I measure “healthy” by how good I feel, how strong I am, how much energy I have, how well I sleep and how self aware I am about addressing my anxiety and stress.
.
The best shift I ever made was to take care of myself and nourish myself because I love MYSELF - not because I needed other people to love me.
.
I love the feeling of vibrancy that I wake up with, and the quality of my sleep. I appreciate the nourishing food I get to eat daily. I love exercising because it feels amazing. I notice my thoughts and strive always to find the gold in every challenge so I can move through it as gracefully as possible. These things take time to define and create but it is so worth it. YOU are so worth it!
.
My definition of health may not be the same as yours or the next persons - what matters is that we define it for ourselves on purpose and that our actions are aligned with our intentions.

In these unusual times, it’s easy to look at your life some days and feel like everything is wrong. And some days you’ll feel like you’re on top of things, you’ve got this and you’re making the most of it. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster.
.
All of the things we feel right now are 100% valid - I just wanted to remind us both that while we may feel the spectrum from both crazy out of control to totally in control, we are also 100% resilient; complete with hidden depths and reserves that replenish with each new day.
.
It’s not the things we look at that need to change, it’s just the way we look at them that deserves a bigger frame.
.
When we’re up too close to something, it’s easy to forget that at our core we are remarkably adaptable with all the tools, skills and resources we need to navigate whatever comes our way.
.
So 1) stay hydrated 😂 and 2) remember to keep refilling your glass - things will continue to be crazy for a while longer but we can navigate the stormy waters and the calm ones because we are strong, self-reliant and smart - and most of all, because we choose to.
.
Thinking of you today, and daily, Rockstars!
.
Share below how you’re navigating these strange times 👇👇

With so much in life so clearly out of our control, how can we use the time we have, and the one thing we have control of - which is how we react to the things not in our control - to feel stronger, more resilient and more capable?
.
Everything we experience - even things we experienced in the past - have meaning and impact on us because of the frame we see them through. This is the one thing truly within our control - the frame we choose to put around the picture of our current (and past) life experience.
.
Will we see this time as one of fear and dread, one of hopelessness and struggle where we felt like we were drowning, and no one cared?
.
Or will we see ourselves as powerfully facing our challenges, rising to meet each day to our best ability, doing what we can to help and support each other?
.
If you’re here riding the rolling waves of this great wild ocean of life with me, I guess it feels like both depending on the day. But I know we will more often choose the latter - because “we are braver than we believe, stronger than we seem, and smarter than we think.” (A.A. Milne)
.
Take heart. Stay strong. And continue to have hope, grace and love for yourself and those around you. ❤️

It’s not “all or nothing” it’s ALL OR SOMETHING. 💛
When you’re shifting your life to a healthier version, it can be overwhelming to feel like there are so many “things” you’re suddenly “supposed” to do.
.
Here’s the thing...
.
You really just have today, right now. Yesterday doesn’t matter. Tomorrow isn’t here, and will be shaped by your actions TODAY.
.
Focus on adding something TODAY; one thing that takes you a step closer to your goals. And do that tomorrow too.
.
Each day, each week just notice how your life is now full of things that are helping you.
.
You can try adding any of these things...(one at a time)...
.
✅Swap out vending machine snacks with fruit.
.
✅Swap out soda with water.
.
✅Switch to decaf after your regular coffee, or enjoy half regular, half caffeinated.
.
✅Walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
.
✅Make a green smoothie.
.
✅Focus on getting protein in each of your meals.
.
✅ Increase your intake of fiber-rich foods. An easy way is to replace store bought cereal with home made whole grain, slow cooked or overnight cereal. Add a serving of veggies to any meal of your day.
.
✅Say your gratitudes.
.
✅Acknowledge yourself for the work you’re already doing.
.
✅Invest in yourself for an hour with a book or podcast instead of social media or TV.
.
✅Go to bed 30 min earlier.
.
✅ Get off your devices an hour or more before bed.
.
✅ Drink water all day.
.
✅ Switch up some of your regular foods to get some nutrient variety.
.
✅ Stretch for 10 minutes
.
✅ Walk outside on the ground with bare feet
.
✅ Go for a long walk.
.
✅ Put your phone on airplane mode while you’re sleeping, and don’t look at it first thing when you wake up.
.
✅ Be grateful (did i day that twice? You bet - this one you can add and add and add!!)
.
✅ Do a 15 min workout (tons on my blog @thebettyrocker Link)
.
✅ Comment below and tell me which of these you’re going to do TODAY! 🙌🏼

I know it’s frustrating and stressful when you scroll through your news feed and see so much anger and fear projected outward. Sometimes it may even be directed at you, but regardless of who it’s directed at it can be triggering.
.
That’s when this reminder really helps me. Everyone responds based on the framework they see the world around them through, and we all have the potential to expand that frame the more we learn and experience. And, this reminder can help us be more compassionate and empathetic when we encounter negativity.
.
We all have filters, the important thing is to become aware of what they are and decide whether our response to others is a) a reaction that serves our fears b) a response that uplifts, or c) if it’s even necessary to engage at all.
.
What helps you the most when you see or hear things from people that are negative or not aligned with what you feel?

You are so worth it. Change is hard, but staying in the wrong situation too long is draining.
.
Trust yourself and your intuition.
.
Know that you are evolving and growing every day and you cannot help but attract what you are putting out.
.
That’s why you’ll simply outgrow or lose your connection to certain people, certain situations, certain things...and that’s ok.
.
Because when you let go, you create space to let more IN of what and who is supposed to be there 💜
.
While you may sometimes want to downplay what’s great about you, when you take the measure of the amazing people in your life who are clearly with you for a reason, you can release self-deprecating thinking traps that want to keep you playing small.
.
I never imagined I’d have women friends like the ones I have - the most amazing, powerful, creative and giving individuals. And now that I do, it makes me reflect on who I am today and how far I’ve come - and how my standards for myself have risen.
.
“What I value and what I live is what is attracted to me.” Say that to yourself out loud right now - it’s the truth about the standards we hold and the way we see ourselves. It’s reflected all around us.
.
If you find there are some people who don’t meet you where you’ve grown to today, it may be worth reflecting on how that relationship needs to evolve - sometimes simply communicating can help move it forward and sometimes it can help bring it to a close - but the bottom line is your precious time and ever evolving life path deserve the self-honoring clarity around who you spend it with.
.
Never apologize for having high standards or for setting healthy boundaries for yourself.
The people who belong in your life will always meet you at that level.
.
💜
.
