The following post is from Becky of Milo & Oats:

These Healthy Almond Butter Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are healthy enough to eat almost everyday.

I am a huge dessert lover. A big, towering piece of chocolate cake, a slice of fresh strawberry pie, a comforting dish of rice pudding. Oh, I could go on and on.

Do you want to know what my favorite sweet treat is, though? Cookies! I could eat them every day. I shouldn’t, but I most certainly could.

These Healthy Almond Butter Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are healthy enough to eat almost everyday.

What makes these cookies just a little healthier than the rest? I’m so glad you asked! Check out the ingredient line-up on these little cuties.

  • Whole-wheat flour. They are partially made with whole-wheat flour and could be made entirely with whole-wheat if you like. Particularly, if you use a lighter whole-wheat pastry flour.
  • Coconut oil. They use coconut oil instead of butter. I personally don’t have big objections to butter. Butter and I go way back. That said, variety is the spice of life and coconut oil is a great, healthy alternative.
  • Maple syrup. These yummy cookies are refined sugar free. That’s right! They are entirely sweetened with maple syrup!
  • Sweet potato. I know you didn’t see that one coming! You would never guess, but the sweet potato helps keep these cookies soft and moist.
  • Almond butter. The almond butter provides lots of healthy fat and staying power. You could certainly swap it out for another nut or seed butter if you like.

    This looks good, I think my gluten free flour mix would work well, too. I printed the recipe and just have to find a little while to make them after I buy a sweet potato 🙂

    These sound delicious and I bet would taste even better because the healthier ingredients would give you a bit of a virtuous glow 🙂 I’m intrigued by the use of sweet potato and I LOVE almond butter.

    I’m drooling!! These cookies look amazing. I love almond butter. Going to try these and sub the whole-wheat flour for a gluten free blend. Thanks!

    I’m loving the idea of using sweet potato in these cookies! I bet it makes them so moist. The coconut coating looks delightful too. 🙂 I hope you can stop on by and share this or any other recipe with us on Five Friday Finds!

    I don’t have any almond butter do you think i could use good old peanut butter instead or would that change the recipe too much?

      Hey Brandy – I think that peanut butter would work just fine instead of almond butter. 🙂
