Dr Jockers Comments
This is a super tasty recipe that is ketogenic in nature in that it is low-carb and rich in good healthy fats. You won’t need many of these and they will satisfy you and help cut cravings.
Coconut fats are one of the most anti-inflammatory foods you can put in your body and they taste great! Stevia is 100 times sweeter than sugar and has no effect on your blood sugar.
This is perfect for anyone dealing with chronic disease that wants to keep their blood sugar stable and reduce inflammation. Your whole family will absolutely LOVE this!

A few xtra calories is alright!!!
Enjoy!😊😊
Hi Dr Jockers
I really struggle with coconut oil. About an hour after I eat it I have to literally run to the bathroom as it just goes right through me. Would it be ok to use grass-fed butter instead of the coconut oil and would this change the overall carb and fat counts? Thanks.
PS: I absolutely love your photo of your sweet little girls. It melted my heart to see such beautiful smiling faces. God has truly blessed you and your wife. I also get so much great inspiration spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically when I read the articles you write. I wish there were more doctors like you here in Australia as its pretty hard to find any that promote low carb/ketogenic way of eating and all from a biblical based point of view. God bless you abundantly in everything you do.
Yes you can try grass-fed butter and see how that comes out. The question will be on the consistency of the cookie bites. They will most likely not be as firm but it won’t change the macros much. Blessings!
Look on the BioBalance health website or ACNEM website in Australia for those type of doctors.
Dr Jockers, what can I use in place of stevia?
You can use monk fruit!
Dr. Jockers,
I notice that there is no mention of yogurt, greek yogurt and heavy cream in the recipes.
All the above can have fat in them too.
Are these ingredients ok to eat?
Thank you,
Paul
Yes, we love Greek Yogurt and heavy cream but make sure you get them organic.
I have powdered Stevia, how many tsp equal 16 drops?
How much Potassium is in a cookie for someone with CKD?
Could Potassium information be placed in the Nutrition sheet?
I have granulated stevia. How do I compute drops for dry measure?
LOVE THIS!
I just winged it the recipe!
I had regular butter
Added extra lemon juice n coconut flakes
Then i ptessef into a small plastic tray
Placed in FREEZER
Made the glaze rub powdered sugar and lemon juice and a little stevia
Poured glaze on bar tray and
Topped with more coconut!!
Cut into pieces and froze again.
Perfect!!
Seems like too much stevia – half (or even less) than that amt. should be enough!
