By 16 Comments

I would be grateful if you shared this recipe :-)

Coffee flour is relatively new to the baking scene.

If you love coffee, these gluten-free coffee flour cookies are something you are going to LOVE.

Have you seen the new coffee flour in your Trader Joe’s yet? It is made from coffee fruit. You may remember when Starbucks recently had their Cascara Latte, it was also made from this coffee fruit. Coffee flour is naturally gluten-free!! (Another unusual flour that is naturally gluten-free flour is banana flour. Check out these easy paleo banana flour waffles!)

Coffee lovers, it is time to rejoice!

I was so intrigued by the idea of coffee flour. Hello! I love coffee. I knew I had to create something easy and delicious with this new fun healthy flour. Combining the coffee flour and coconut ended up being a great combination!

You will have to let me know how you like this gluten-free coffee flour cookie recipe.

What the heck is coffee flour?

You are probably wondering if coffee flour has caffeine. I wondered this too because I wondered if I could eat a lot of these cookies without getting a caffeine buzz. Coffee flour has as much caffeine as dark chocolate. (That being said, I would probably only eat a couple at one sitting.)

What is Coffee Flour Like to Bake With?

I was really surprised how easy it was to use coffee flour. You use about 3 tablespoons, similarly to using cocoa powder in a recipe. These cookies have the same texture as a regular cookie and have a delicious taste. Drop me a note below and let me know what you think!

Coffee Flour is Healthy Flour

Coffee flour is high in fiber and full of potassium (13% more than a banana!) Because it isn’t processed at a high heat like coffee beans, the coffee fruit retains its antioxidants and health benefits. Coffee flour is also high in iron.

You can buy coffee flour at your local Trader Joe’s, or online.

  1. I really want these cookies to work. Made them exactly as directed but they flattened. I am at 5000 ft. Any suggestions what I should change to make them rise properly.

  3. May I recommend you try Ella Bella Gluten Free AP flour? It’s the only flour I use, and it’s amazing for baked goods!

  5. Coffee Flour?! I hadn’t heard of it yet – shows how behind I am when it comes to the baking scene! I’m sooo intrigued though, what an awesome sounding cookie. I can’t wait to try them, especially since my husband hates coffee everything (I know, I still don’t know how that’s possible), and so these cookies would be 100% for me! 😉
