Here’s a recipe for Keto Magic Cookies that are low in carbs but full of flavor! These cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with delicious ingredients like coconut, chocolate, and nuts. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying on track with your keto lifestyle.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1/4 cup butter (softened) or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or almonds), optional
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, peanut butter (or almond butter), softened butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but thick enough to hold its shape.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using). Stir until evenly distributed.
- Form the Cookies: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press them down slightly with the back of the spoon to form cookie shapes (they will not spread much during baking).
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Sweetener: You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less erythritol, depending on your preference.
- Flavor Add-ins: You can also add other ingredients such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a little cinnamon for a different flavor.
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate them for longer freshness. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
These Keto Magic Cookies are sure to satisfy your cravings for something sweet and chocolatey without the carbs. Enjoy! 🍪
