Baking makes me happy, especially when I make a homemade double chocolate chip cookie that tastes yummy and is packed with nutrition. I have a knack for taking a recipe and improving its nutritional value. The trick is simple – I change up the ingredients.
Instead of using refined white flour, I use a mix of sprouted rye and spelt flours that come from Anita’s Organic Mill in British Columbia.
For the cocoa powder, I prefer to use Rodelle Organics Baking Cocoa.
Conventional eggs are replaced with Rabbit River Farms eggs from Alberta. I use grass-fed butter instead of margarine.
I ditched using white refined white sugar a long, long time ago. In this recipe, I use Uncle Luke’s Organic Very Dark pure maple syrup from Quebec.
My favourite vanilla extract is by Simply Organic. I always use Camino chocolate chips as they taste so damn good.
COOKIES CAN BE A PART OF A HEALTHY DIET
There isn’t a single ingredient in this cookie that does not provide my body with some sort of nutrient.
There’s a huge misconception that to eat healthily you must give up everything you love. Untrue! You just need to learn how to make the things you love using wholesome ingredients that nourish your body.
If you compare the nutrition values of refined white flour to spelt flour, you will see the difference. There is more protein and fibre in spelt flour. I use sprouted spelt four because I find it easier to digest.
To be honest, I am a cookie monster. It’s a quick and healthy snack to grab for my busy lifestyle. I also take them on bike rides and hiking trips to keep energy levels topped off. Trust me, these taste way better than those gag-me CLIF BARS.
Of course, you always have to practice the “rule of moderation.” Unfortunately, there is such a thing as eating too many cookies. Damn it! 🤣

- Bake for 10 minutes. Allow them to cool for 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheet.

Notes
- You can choose your favourite sprouted flour or use a mix of rye, spelt, or buckwheat. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free but has a distinctively different flavour.
- If you want to use all maple syrup, the amount is 1 cup in place of the total sugar stated in the recipe. If you want to use all coconut palm sugar, the amount is 1.5 cups in place of the total sugar stated.
- If you don’t want a double chocolate chip cookie recipe, just omit the cocoa powder. Let the dough sit for a few minutes to thicken. If you find that it’s a bit soft without the cocoa powder stir in a little more sprouted flour, about 1 – 2 tablespoons.
