Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat chocolate chip cookies are a scrumptious treat. The best part is they’re packed with nutrients.


Well I’ve never met a single person in my life who didn’t like chocolate chip cookies, though I’m sure they’re out there, but they must be rare. Anyway, I’ve been rocking this vegan recipe forever, but only recently with Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (HTB) flour.

That’s because Tartary, in case you haven’t heard, is a badass seed. It rocks four bioactive compounds — rutin, quercetin, luteolin, and hesperidin — and a powerhouse free radical scavenger that regenerates cells (2-HOBA).

It also stacks vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and immense prebiotics for your gut. According to Dr. Jeffrey Bland of Big Bold Health it’s “the most immuneoactive, nutrient-dense plant yet discovered.”

This recipe is organic, vegan, and gluten-free.

Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat cookies are nutrient-dense.

According to one report, HTB promotes more energy, better sleep, enhanced cognition, and improved digestion.

It also offsets the effects of sugary treats because it’s bioactive. It metabolizes fats. In fact some folks use it in multiple forms and as a weight loss supplement.

Here’s what you’ll need (recipe card below):

HTB Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

Equipment

Since HTB flour has a powerful taste, I typically blend it with other gluten-free flours like oat, almond, sorghum, millet, or bean. Another favorite, and especially in cookies, is organic coconut flour. It’s oh so fine and irresistibly sweet.

Organic Coconut Flour

  • USDA Certified Organic
  • Vegan & Gluten-Free
  • Non-GMO Grain-Free
  • Unbleached Unrefined

How to Make a Chia Egg

To make one chia egg mix 1 tablespoon of ground or soaked whole organic chia seed with 3 tablespoons of filtered water, wait for 10 minutes, mix again, then use.

Vegan egg substitutes are widely available, but chia is OG. It’s a complete vegan protein with all nine essential amino acids.

HTB Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat chocolate chip cookies rock.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 and grease cookie sheets.
  • In a bowl blend the flour and baking soda.
  • In another bowl mix melted or soft Earth Balance and sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in the chia egg, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the flour mix and stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the chips and nuts until blended.
  • Form the cookie dough on sheets (one packed teaspoon per) about two inches apart and bake one sheet at a time on the center rack for roughly 10 minutes, rotating the position once. You can lay parchment paper or go direct on cast iron.
  • Remove from oven when golden and let stand until cool.

The chocolate and walnuts in this recipe boost heart-health, gut-health, brain-health, and more. And if you add a little flax to the recipe, it’s healthier yet!

Vegan egg substitutes are widely available, but chia is healthiest. It’s a complete vegan protein with all nine essential amino acids. 
If you don’t have an electric mixer you can do it by hand. 
You can mix up the chips and nuts in this recipe for different spins. Macadamia carob chip is one of our favorites! 💚
