KETO NO BAKE COOKIES

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond butter (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond butter and coconut oil. Stir frequently until the mixture is fully melted and well combined.
  2. Add Cocoa and Sweetener: Add the cocoa powder and erythritol to the melted almond butter and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the sweetener is fully dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Flavor the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and chia seeds (if using). Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
  6. Chill the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the cookies chill for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm. For quicker results, you can place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
  7. Store and Enjoy: Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Customization: Feel free to add in other keto-friendly ingredients like sugar-free chocolate chips, hemp seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Serving Size: This recipe makes about 12-16 cookies, depending on the size of your spoonfuls.
  • Nut-Free Option: If you have a nut allergy, you can substitute sunflower seed butter for the almond butter.

These no-bake cookies are perfect for a quick snack or a sweet treat without the guilt of breaking your keto diet. Enjoy!
