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 then you will love these!
This recipe originally contained coconut sugar but we substituted RxSugar. Allulose is a natural sweetener that tastes like sugar but has 90% fewer calories and has minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. Allulose is naturally found in maple syrup, molasses, figs, raisins, and jackfruit. It can replace sugar in recipes in a 1:1 ratio, and you can read more about allulose here.
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 transitioning the recipe and using either stevia or the keto maple syrup to the appropriate sweetness you like.
