Gluten-Free Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies made with almond flour, olive oil, maple syrup, and chocolate chips. A healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe! Vegan.
I absolutely love an easy cookie recipe. There’s really nothing more satisfying. Quick to whip up, consumed even faster. Win win.
There are several easy, healthy-ish cookie recipes on my site like my teff almond butter cookies, my 4-ingredient banana bread cookies, or even these peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
And at one time or another I’ve probably said they were each my favorite cookie recipe. All true.
But these vegan gluten-free chocolate chip cookies made with olive oil have reached favorite status. And for good reason.
Gluten-Free Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients
Made with only 5 main ingredients and one bowl, you’ll have these cookies in the oven in under 10 minutes. Here’s what you’ll need:
- almond flour
- extra virgin olive oil
- maple syrup
- pure vanilla extract
- dairy-free chocolate chips
Sprinkle them lightly with sea salt before baking and those flavors will sing.
The outcome is a slightly soft, slightly chewy dairy-free chocolate chip cookie. Egg-free and grain-free as well.
And you won’t miss a thing!
Need another gluten-free recipe for that sweet tooth? I’ve been eyeing Michelle’s gluten-free fudge pie recipe. Decadent, rich, and a total crowd pleaser!

Oh. my. gosh. NEED these!! I love a good, easy cookie and this one looks like it fits the bill!
Love these little pillows of goodness Tessa… and look at that interior. I’m a fan of soft and chewy ! Total Heart Eyes!! Hope y’all are warm love. xo
Do you think these could be made with white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour instead? Thanks!
Love this recipe! Have made it multiple times!
I am looking for a substitute for almond flour – Want to use regular flour.. Any suggestions on quantity and other ingredients to include (baking soda, powder, salt, etc?)
These are AMAZING. I’ve made them twice now and am so so happy to finally find my delicious (flourless, healthy) chocolate chip cookie staple! I never leave reviews, but these seriously are so so good. Thank you!
I have been making these on repeat now for months. In LOVE. I make a double batch and freeze them to pop just a few in the oven at a time. Perfection on those nights when I need a sweet treat that my body can appreciate!
Wow! Just wow! Over the past year I have been cutting out refined sugar and mainly using paleo sugars. I try to seek out recipes sweetened naturally or by honey and maple syrup. These cookies hit the spot! They combine my love for salty and sweet and are AMAZING. I will def be making these as my staple choc. chip cookie recipe! YUM!!!
