Berry Chia Jam Thumbprint Cookies (Vegan + GF)

December 13, 2018 · In: Sweet Treats

It’s that time of the year again! a time of sharing food with family and what better way than these delicious cookies. These would be a perfect little gift for someone or just a nice treat to have anytime of year. This time of year can also be difficult as healthy choices aren’t always an option. That’s why I love making my healthy treats and my family loves eating them;)


Thumbprint cookies usually contain white flour and processed sugar. So to make these gluten free I swapped for a mix of almond meal and brown rice flour which still have that cookie taste. The recipe for the chia seed jam makes about a small jar full so you can store in fridge and use it again if you want to make another batch of cookies or it’s great to put in your oatmeal or overnight oats! Chia seeds absorb to water so the jam becomes nice and thick. Chia seeds are also high in fibre and a good source of omega-3-fatty acids which is a bonus! Cant wait for you to try these! Please let me know what you think and if you recreate, tag me in your Instagram posts so can see! xx
