Keto Almond Butter Cookies – How To Make Easy Low Carb Cookies with only 3 ingredients including Almond Butter and Stevia. Completely flourless, Paleo, Whole 30 and gluten free too. With the full video tutorial.

Keto Almond Butter Cookies

These keto almond butter cookies are a simple cookie recipe to make and make a lovely treat for when sweet cravings strike.

The cookies are naturally low in net carbs and high in protein, making them perfect for the keto lifestyle.

You may actually find that almond butter is sweet enough that the cookies need no sweetener, or you may prefer to add more stevia, or your natural sweetener of choice, for extra sweet cookies.

There are many iterations of these easy flourless cookies floating around the internet. This particular version is a low carb, keto diet friendly way to prepare cookies using protein rich almond butter and stevia to sweeten.

You can enjoy these cookies as a grab and go breakfast cookies with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, as a snack to keep you going between meals or as a sweet treat for dessert following a keto meal or during the Christmas season.

Is Almond Butter Keto Friendly?

I’m often asked if almond butter is actually keto friendly, because the ingredient is creamy and really feels like you’re going off plan when you indulge in the decadent ingredient.

You’ll be pleased to know that yes, you can have almond butter when you’re following a low carb diet like the ketogenic diet. Any kind of almond butter that’s unsweetened is low in carbs and high in healthy fats and protein – making it an ideal food to keep in your pantry staples and to incorporate in tasty treats like these cookies.

You’re free to swap the almond butter for other store-bought options such as peanut butter to make peanut butter cookies or any other type of nut butter of choice or sunflower seed butter, if you’d prefer not to use almond butter due to nut or peanut allergies or for some reason.

Additional Ingredient Ideas

You can add in a number of other low carb friendly simple ingredients if you’d like to go beyond the 3 ingredients. Here are some ideas for you:

Chocolate – add in dark chocolate chips, chunks or a tablespoon of cocoa powder for an added chocolate element to create almond butter chocolate chip cookies or flourless chocolate cookies.

Vanilla Extract – to add in a lovely, comforting vanilla flavor.

Sprinkle Of Salt – a sprinkle of sea salt or flaky salt will bring out the sweetness of the cookies.

Nuts & Seeds – mix through a hand full of nuts or seeds for nut infused cookies with even more of a nutty flavor. Or swap the egg for a flax egg by mixing a tablespoon of flax meal with 3 tablespoons of water, allowing to sit for 15 minutes then use in place of the egg in the almond butter cookies recipe. 

Protein Powder – a half a scoop of protein powder can be added to add even more protein to the cookies. (You may need to also add a few tablespoons of water to balance the protein powder.)

How To Make Almond Butter Keto Cookies

Making these Keto Almond Butter Cookies couldn’t be simpler, start by gathering together your ingredients for the simple recipe:

• 1 Cup of Almond Butter (Shop Almond Butter On Amazon.)
• 1 Large Egg
• 1/4 Cup of Stevia (Shop Stevia On Amazon.)

Next, grab a medium bowl to mix the ingredients together. Start by placing your creamy almond butter in and giving it a stir to loosen it up if it’s a bit thick.

Then add the egg and stevia.

Mix the ingredients together by giving them a good stir for the best results. You don’t even need to use a hand mixer or food processor to create the great recipe.

Keep mixing until you have a keto cookie dough.

Place a teaspoon of the cookie dough per cookie onto a well greased, baking parchment paper lined cookie tray.

You could flatten your cookies with the back of a fork or teaspoon, or do so by hand – rolling and then flattening your dough into cookies.

Once your tray is filled with cookies, place into an oven, preheated to 180C/350F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and you have a tray of warm, perfectly cooked cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Allow the healthy cookies to cool to room temperature on the tray to firm up and become crisp, then store in an airtight container.

You could enjoy these melt in the mouth flourless almond butter cookies as they are or smother them with some keto ice cream, low carb chocolate frosting or maple whipped cream and sandwich a couple of cookies together, as pictured below.
