Hi friends! Today is the day for another Secret Recipe Club's reveal day! What's the Secret Recipe Club you ask? It's a fun blogger club! Each month, a blogger is secretly assigned another blogger and chooses a recipe to make. On reveal day (today for my group!), all our posts go up at the same time and we discover who was assigned our blog and which recipe she/he decided to try.
I was so so excited to discover that I was assigned Leigh's blog Chit Chat Chomp this month! Leigh and I have so much in commun, it's crazy. She is a "fellow" Aussie – not that I'm actually Australian, but I've been living in Sydney for more than 3 years so I definitely call it home! But that's not it. Leigh's obsessed with all things French and...oh hey hello, I also happen to be French! Coincidence? I think not haha. And if that wasn't already enough, Leigh and I seem to have the same taste and "cooking style" <= is that even a thing? I guess you understand what I mean! She loves to bake but tries to keep things healthy = my kind of girl. As I was browsing her blog, I seriously had to restrain myself from commenting on about every single recipe of hers. I think that would have given me away... Plus I should also add that I love her food photography styling. She is one seriously talented cookie!
Speaking of cookies, I set my heart on her almond chocolate chips after seriously considering making her raspberry fudge, and I'm so glad I did. They're so delicious! I loved their crumbly texture and nutty flavor. Plus they come together really quickly, perfect for to satisfy this sweet craving in minutes!
Go ahead and go say hi to Leigh, I'm sure you will love her blog 🙂
Clean Eating Almond Chocolate Chips Cookies (Paleo + Vegan)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups / 225g almond flour
- 2 ½ tbsp coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup - 40g dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- 2 tbsp rice malt syrup or use raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 340F - 170C
-
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
-
Form balls (about 1 tbsp in size) from the dough and place onto a lined baking tray, pressing down (they won't spread while baking), and bake for approximately 10-13 minutes until slightly golden.
-
Leave to cool completely, as they will be too fragile to pick up when still warm.

They look yummy! I made cookies for SRC this month, too 🙂

Thank you Rachel! Cookies are always a crowd pleaser, right? 😉
Claire @ Claire K Creations
These look right up my alley and like something my little man would love too. Yum!
Anna
Those look pretty amazing!
I had your blog this month, and I had a hard time not commenting on several of your posts, too.
marie
Oh thanks Anna, that's really sweet of you! 🙂
avril
I am ALL over this recipe! Baking with almond meal is the best! - it allows for not only wonderful texture but taste too! Thank you for such a great SRC pick! 🙂
marie
Yes I love using almond meal! Thanks for stopping by Avril 🙂
Laura @MotherWouldKnow
Marie, I love the name of your blog - it's how I feel about cinnamon (and several other spices too.) These cookies look divine and even though I'm not gluten-free, I can well imagine making them for a snack or to serve with ice cream this summer.
marie
Oh you definitely do not need to be gluten free to enjoy these cookies 😉 Serving them with ice cream is such a good idea! Maybe broken down in pieces and sprinkled over it...? YUM!
Leigh
Hi Marie - thank you so very very much for such lovely words and I'm so pleased you enjoyed that recipe. It's probably the recipe I use the most on my blog! Your blog is just beautiful and I'm looking forward to finding some delicious recipes to make from it. Leigh x
marie

Sweet as Sugar Cookies
What a great and tasty way to make these cookies healthier.
Katie
These look amazing! Have you tried experimenting by adding protein powder? If so (or even if not, for that matter) would you recommend vanilla or chocolate flavor for best taste with this recipe?
marie
I haven't tried but I would recommend vanilla over chocolate. And I would reduce the quantity of almond meal to 1.5 cups of almond meal + protein powder. I'm not sure it would work but let me know if you try!
Tonja
I love these, they are so delicious and easy and fast. I'm baking them over and over again 🙂
Marie
Thanks so much Tonja! So glad you love them <3
