Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Why These Ingredients Work
Almond flour keeps the cookies low-carb and tender, while shredded coconut adds texture and natural sweetness. Sugar-free sweetener balances flavors without spiking blood sugar.
Ingredient Notes
- Sweetener: Powdered sweetener blends better than granulated for smooth texture.
- Coconut: Use unsweetened coconut only to avoid hidden sugars.
- Chocolate Chips: Always check labels to ensure they’re keto-friendly.
- Butter vs. Coconut Oil: Butter adds richness; coconut oil gives a subtle tropical note.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents clumps.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Create the Cookie Dough
Slowly pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips and nuts.
Step 5: Scoop and Shape
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the baking sheet. Lightly press down to form rounded cookie shapes.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges turn golden and centers are just set. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the dough. Swap nuts for sunflower seeds if you’re nut-free. Want more chewiness? Slightly underbake and allow cookies to cool fully. These cookies freeze beautifully, making them perfect for meal prep. You can also drizzle melted sugar-free chocolate on top for a bakery-style finish. For holiday vibes, mix in keto-friendly dried cranberries or orange zest.
