Dr Jockers Comments:
These are grain-free, sugar free cookies that taste out of this world! We use almond flour which is full of healthy fats, clean protein and fiber. This is much better than a starchy fiber and tastes good too. If you are on a low-carb diet or not and want a great dessert recipe than you will love these!
This recipe originally contained coconut sugar but we substituted keto maple syrup, which is made of natural sweeteners that do not elevate your blood sugar in monk fruit and erythritol. Using this sweetener makes this recipe less inflammatory and eating these will actually help to balance and stabilize your blood sugar levels.
Organic free range eggs provide very healthy protein and essential fats and the coconut oil provides tons of healthy medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that help you burn fat! The coconut really makes these cookies taste good so I would recommend trying little to no sweetener at first and then transition the recipe and use either stevia or the keto maple syrup to the appropriate sweetness you like.
