Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies with Avocado Oil

This gluten-free chocolate chip cookies recipe is sponsored by Chosen Foods and includes an amazing giveaway opportunity! Congratulations to the winner of last week’s GapFit giveaway: Amanda H.! The lucky lady has been emailed.

As someone who is always excited to expand their nutrition and cooking knowledge, I love being introduced to new ingredients or techniques. As I learn more about food and the types of ingredients and recipes that work well for our family, our grocery purchases will reflect that. Something that has made an impact on my cooking: oils and the types I’ll use for various recipes and foods.

For a long time, I’ve cooked strictly using olive oil. It’s a healthy oil option, but it turns out that it’s really at its best when served at room temperature or heated at lower temperatures. I’ve also experimented with ghee, coconut oil, and butter in our cooking, so I was excited to try out some new oils from Chosen Foods.

-Carsten Hagen (from Norway) founded Chosen Foods with the belief that food has the power to heal. Carsten studied naturopathy (did not practice, but has always had an interest and passion in health and wellness), and is on a mission to make healing superfood ingredients accessible.

-They have expanded from Mexico to the United States, Canada and Bolivia, and oversee the entire production of their superfoods, from field to table. Because of this, they are directly involved in the quality, supply, trade practices, and sustainability of their products.

Chosen Foods sent a goodie package with cooking sprays (avocado, coconut, avocado coconut oil blend and olive) in addition to avocado oil. 

What I Like About Chosen Foods Products

The sprays are BOMB. They are amazing for pancakes, stir fry, on salads (just spritz, add a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper, and eat!), and greasing baking dishes. They have zero calories, and one to two ingredients which equate to 100% pure oil. No weird chemicals propellants or additives.

The avocado oil is one of my new favorites. It has a high smoke point of 500 degrees (where the oil starts to break down), so it’s awesome for high heat cooking,

but also a lovely unexpected ingredient in baked dishes, like these cookies!

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies with Avocado Oil

The avocado oil gave these cookies a light, beautiful texture (they’re perfectly soft and chewy), plus a dose of heart-healthy fats. These cookies take about 10 minutes to put together, and are preschooler-approved. 😉

    I use Chosen Foods avocado oil ALL the time! I bought a huge one from Costco. I’ve never baked with it. Might have to try that soon! I love how the avocado oil doesn’t have an over-powering flavor (like coconut oil.)

  10. Jenn on May 24, 2016 at 6:40 pm

  13. Vicenza Dix on May 24, 2016 at 8:54 pm

    I never knew that olive oil wasn’t best to use at high heats, thank you for the tip! I haven’t experimented with avocado oil yet, truthfully I haven’t heard about it. Incredible you can use it freely in cookies! I look forward to trying it out. Thank you!

  14. Sarah B on May 25, 2016 at 12:06 am

    Infused olive oils – yum!

  15. Vanessa on May 25, 2016 at 12:55 am

  17. Alana on May 25, 2016 at 7:31 am

    Olive oil is my go-to. I’ve been using coconut oil and ghee a lot lately too. Last year I got some garlic-infused avo oil from the farmer’s market and it was so good, would love to cook more with it!

  18. Katie M on May 25, 2016 at 8:45 am

    coconut oil for sure!!!

  23. Genna on May 26, 2016 at 10:08 am

    I have a bottle of avocado oil but have been intimidated to try it!

  24. Diana Cote on May 26, 2016 at 10:49 am

    I only ever cook with Coconut oil, avocado oil & Evoo but I have to say I use coconut oil more because of it’s smoking points but flavor wise avocado is so tasty.

  25. Jill on May 26, 2016 at 10:56 am

  28. Jordan Dunne on May 27, 2016 at 6:31 am

    Coconut and avocado oil are my top two cooking oils. They make roasted veggies taste fantastic!
