Double Chocolate Keto Breakfast Cookies 🍪
These Double Chocolate Keto Breakfast Cookies are the perfect way to start your day with a healthy, low-carb treat! Packed with protein and rich chocolate flavor, they're firm around the edges and wonderfully soft in the center.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Silicone Baking Mat
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (250 g) or other nut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar replacement sweetener (50 g)
- 2 tablespoons allulose (20.29 g)
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chocolate whey protein powder (81 g)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed gelatin (7.1 g) (or 2 tablespoons collagen)
- 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, but it deepens the chocolate flavor!)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Water slightly warm, as needed
- 3 ounces sugar-free chocolate chips (85.05 g)
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to a cozy 325°F (160°C) and get a large baking sheet ready by lining it with a silicone baking mat. If your sheets are small, use two to give the cookies space.
- In a big mixing bowl, beat together the almond butter with your sweeteners until they're nicely combined. Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until everything looks smooth.
- Next, add all the dry goodness at once: the protein powder, cocoa powder, gelatin, espresso powder (if you're using it), baking soda, and salt. Beat this until a thick, uniform dough forms. If your dough feels really stiff or the dry ingredients aren't blending well, simply add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it's just right – firm but easy to work with.
- Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, making sure they're spread throughout the dough. Roll the dough into 12 equal-sized balls, each about 2 inches in diameter. Don't worry if the dough feels a bit oily; it will all come together beautifully as it bakes. Place them on your prepared baking sheet and press each ball down to about 1 inch thick.
- Pop them in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. You want them to be puffed up and firm around the edges, but still wonderfully soft in the center. Let them cool completely on the pan before you dive in!
