Keto almond dark chocolate chip cookies!
Nothing goes together quite like dark chocolate and almonds. The warm taste of the nuts is the perfect complement to dark chocolate. This scrumptious cookie recipe is sure to satisfy all your sweet tooth cravings while still managing to be keto-friendly. If you want to serve up a keto dessert that everybody will love, then you definitely need to give this recipe a shot. It's easy, fast, and oh-so-good. Sometimes the best desserts are the tried and true recipes that we all know and love, but this one comes with a low-carb twist.
This recipe is very similar to the traditional cookie recipe you grew up with. However, the two main differences you'll notice is the type of flour and type of sweetener used in this dessert. This recipe ditches that high carb white flour and also says goodbye to terrible granulated white sugar- no one needs either of those ingredients to make fantastic cookies!
To replace white flour in this cookie recipe, we used almond flour. Almond flour has fewer carbs than regular white flour and it is full of delicious, nutty flavor that makes these cookies what they are. Almond flour also has lots of healthy fats (it is made simply by grinding almonds so all the health benefits of almonds are still there!) that you need on a keto diet. It is such a better choice fo flavor and nutrition when compared to white flour.
Sugar is replaced with monk fruit sweetener which is an all-natural, no-carb sweetener. Monk fruit sweetener is much sweeter than white sugar but happens to be much easier for the body to process. It will give you all the sweetness that you want in a cookie but without any of the carbs- pretty amazing! These small adjustments transform a regular cookie recipe into a low carb treat that is also sugar-free.
You'll appreciate the simplicity of making this dessert, too. It just requires mixing all the ingredients thoroughly and then forming the dough into the perfect cookie size. The cook time is only 13 minutes, and then you can enjoy a snack baked to golden deliciousness. The cookies should keep for about a week when wrapped well and stored at room temperature. If you have some extra, you can wrap them tightly and freeze them for later. A freezer full of keto-approved cookies sounds like a dream come true! Why settle for store-bought cookies when you can bake up your very own at home? Trust me, it's worth a few minutes in the kitchen!
Whether you're wanting an after-dinner dessert, need a dessert to bring to a party or just want to have healthier options around the house, our low carb almond dark chocolate chip cookies won't disappoint. Bake these up and watch how quickly they disappear! This recipe is just another example of how amazing low carb desserts can be. Check it out for yourself and see if it ends up on your list of favorites. SPOILER: It will!
