How to make your no bake keto cookies ?
This is the easiest no bake cookie recipe ! Trust me, anyone can make those, it is a no fail cookie recipe. All you need to make your delicious no bake keto cookies are 4 wholesome ingredients.
- Sugar free dark chocolate chips or bar – I am using stevia sweetened chocolate chips otherwise you can make your own following my sugar free chocolate chips recipe
- Almond butter – fresh, smooth and runny. You can also use peanut butter, pecan butter or macadamia butter to create different cookie flavors.
- Chia seeds – this is optional but recommend to add a delicious crunch to the cookie along with protein and fiber
- Coconut oil – you can use refined coconut oil to avoid the strong coconut flavor of unrefined coconut oil. Don’t use butter or the cookie will be too soft.
- Sliced almonds or silvered almonds
How to make nut-free cookies?
I heard you, you can’t eat nut and you crave those no bake keto cookies. Don’t worry I have lovely nut free options for you. Those no bake keto cookies taste amazing if you replace the almond butter:
- Sliced almonds can be replaced by coconut flakes or toasted coconut flakes
- Almond butter can be substitute by tahini also known as sesame seed butter. You can use hulled or unhulled tahini both are pretty similar. Another option is to use sunflower seed butter – make sure you check the ingredient list and use no sugar added sunflower seed butter
How to store your cookies?
No bake cookies are better stored in the fridge especially on hot summer days. However, those ones won’t melt at room temperature really fast, they soften for sure but won’t melt. It means that you can take them away easily, in a small bag or airtight container.
