Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies With Maple Butter
Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Butter are such a treat! A little crunchy and a little chewy at the same time. And the maple drizzle seems to be the perfect flavor combination, at least for me anyway. You will have to let me know what you think.

To be perfectly honest, I’m crazy about these cookies. I wasn’t sure at first whether I would like them. Truth be told, I made this recipe five times, adjusting the flour, liquids, and fat. I ended up with this crunchy cookie that almost seemed to enhance the flavor of the chocolate chips.
This allergy-friendly and vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe was adapted from a recipe shared with me by my husband’s aunt several years ago. We enjoyed discussing recipes, especially sweets!
Our aunt was following a low-fat diet and counting Weight Watcher points. She was aware of my food sensitivities and wondered if these cookies would be something I could eat. I made some adjustments to meet my dietary needs, but I never got to share my version with her. Good memories though.
I make my oat flour by placing gluten-free old-fashioned oats in my Vitamix or blender. Mix on high speed until the oats resemble a fine flour. It may require stopping the machine and stirring the oats occasionally. It’s a quick and easy process.
The maple butter drizzle is optional but I must tell you, it is the perfect blend with these cookies. The maple butter has zero fat and firms up like icing. It’s best to add the maple drizzle the day you plan on serving them or store the drizzled cookies in the freezer. Don’t worry they defrost quickly since they are thin or you can eat them frozen like I do : )
There are 2 Weight Watcher points for each cookie without nuts and maple butter. With nuts and 1/2 tablespoon of maple butter, each cookie has 3.5 points.
To Make Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies With Maple Butter You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Oat flour

- Brown sugar, I’ve made these with dark and regular brown sugar
