Giant Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookie With Collagen
A giant flourless chocolate chip cookie with collagen sounds a little different am I right? You will never know it’s there, but it adds some balance to the sugar, which is a plus for your blood sugar. It’s also a fun way to experiment with collagen, if you have been wondering…can I add this to my cookie recipes?

Of course, you can leave the collagen out if you prefer; the cookie will be equally delicious.
This cookie is ready to bake!
Slice it up into whatever shape you desire.
Maybe squares so there is more to go around, and the servings are a little smaller.
To Make Giant Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies With Collagen, You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Blanched almond flour ~ for a nut-free cookie substitute with sunflower seed flour or a gluten-free flour blend like King Arthur Measure For Measure.
- Oat flour
- Collagen (unflavored) I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides ~ omit for vegan
- Dry sugar ~ I’ve used regular granulated and beet sugar; coconut would also work.
- Vanilla
- Natural peanut butter at room temperature ~ natural works well because it isn’t as thick. Sub with sunflower seed butter if needed.
- Non-dairy milk ~ I’ve used coconut, soy, and macadamia
- Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips ~ I’ve used Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips and Luv Chocolate Chips Sweetened with Stevia
- Chopped walnuts ~ optional; omit for nut-free
**Please note ~ I have not tried this recipe with a vegan collagen substitute, but this recipe is just as delicious without the collagen. Just leave it out and make no other changes.
This giant cookie freezes well too.
Here is another delicious idea, bake the giant cookie in a cast iron pan and serve it hot (in the pan) with a couple of scoops of ice cream (regular or dairy-free) on top, and grab some spoons.
These pictures show an example of what you can do using a cast iron skillet. The cookie baked here is similar to my GF Chocolate Peanut Butter Hurricane Cookie recipe.
Actually, you can bake any cookie or brownie in a cast iron skillet. It’s a fun way to serve a dessert too.
Need More Delicious Options:
- Add some Reese’s Pieces to the cookie dough before baking. Reese’s Pieces are not dairy-free.
- Drizzle equal parts of melted chocolate chips and peanut butter over top.
Mmm…These are so good there might not be any left to freeze!
Enjoy!
