Last year Kym over at Free Spirit Eater asked me to do a guest post on her blog for a “guilt free” dessert. I was super excited for the challenge of creating something of my own and making it healthy! It’s been a while since I shared the recipe with her readers, so I thought it would be a good time to pass it on to you guys!
While at Target for a routine shopping trip, I happened to notice Jello’s Sugar Free Fat Free chocolate instant pudding mix – I thought this would be a great start: I basically just built the recipe around the pudding mix. They turned out nice and fluffy and had just the right “cakey” texture I was going for!
The first time I made these, I tried them out on my parents and siblings who were also trying to eat gluten free at the time and they LOVED them! My poor husband was at work while our guests were enjoying these {ok, ok I may have had a few} so he didn’t get ANY! I promised him his very own batch however, so he forgave me.
Gluten & Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding Cookies
SUPPLIES
- Mixing Bowl
- Cookie Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 small box Jello band Sugar Free Fat Free Instant Chocolate Pudding mix
- 1 ⅓ cups Pamela’s Baking & Pancake mix or other all-purpose GF blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- In medium bowl, stir together all ingredients except flour {just enough so the pudding mix won’t create a “cloud” when blending.}
- Next, beat the mixture on low with a hand-mixer for about 1 minute then fold in flour with spatula. The dough should be pretty thick
- Using a tablespoon, scoop generous round balls {think of the measuring spoon as being the bottom 1/2 – 1/3 of your ball} on to lightly sprayed cookie sheet. These barely change their shape so don’t worry about them being too close.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes {these were baked for 13.5 minutes – no I’m not crazy! This picture is actually from my second, double batch & my dad was impatient and kept checking! Sure enough, they were perfect.}
- I placed ours on a cooling rack when they were done, but these are pretty much ready to eat right out of the oven!

February 5, 2013 at 4:27 amI don't think I would add whole oats since these are pretty cakey – the difference in texture might be a little weird. You could definitely do oat flour though! I'd probably swap 1/3 – 1/2 out with the other flour. Hope that helps 🙂
