Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe *Can be Made with Yacon Syrup

As you all know, I love to cook and bake as cleanly as possible, and yes this goes both ways! I can’t bear to leave a dirty dish in the sink longer than a few minutes, and I am really starting to loathe unhealthy ingredients. I have not completely cut out wheat, and sugar in my diet, but I hope to do so by the end of the year. Typically, I like to bake with coconut oil, and all natural, pure honey. I find they produce the bests tastes in baked goods without any weird aftertastes.

Since I am all about trying natural sugar alternatives I was excited to receive an 8 ounce bottle of Quality Encapsulations Pure Yacon Syrup in. This organic, and raw  natural source of prebiotics is a hot commodity on the health market. It can be taken as a metabolism boosting supplement, or used as a sugar substitute. Since it is sweeter than sugar, you definitely use less of it when baking.

My gluten free chocolate chip cookies are always a huge hit in my home when I bake them. I immediately thought to substitute the honey for Yacon Syrup and mix things up. You can make my recipe below with honey or Yacon-your choice. I found the Yacon to definitely have a brown sugar/molasses  taste, which complemented the cookies.  My kids cannot put them down either!!
