Keto No Bake Cookies

Please share:

No-bake keto cookies are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a quick, low-carb treat that’s easy to make. With just one bowl to clean, they embody convenience without sacrificing taste, especially when you’re in the mood for something sweet but mindful of your carb intake.

Keto No-Bake Chocolate Cookies

These delightful no-bake cookies require only five ingredients and can be whipped up in about 10 minutes. The simplicity of this recipe is its true charm, eliminating the fuss of cookie dough and extensive preparation.

Key Ingredients for a No-Fuss Keto Treat

Here’s a peek at the straightforward ingredients list:

  • Butter or Coconut Oil (choose coconut oil for a dairy-free version)
  • Your choice of nut butter, such as almond or peanut
  • Keto-friendly Chocolate chips for that essential sweetness
  • A selection of chopped nuts, like pecans or cashews, for texture
  • A sprinkle of shredded coconut for an added flavor layer

Keto No Bake Cookies with Peanut Butter

For those following a Paleo diet, peanut butter might not fit the bill, but other nut butters like almond butter can be great substitutes. These versatile ingredients ensure that everyone can enjoy these cookies, regardless of dietary preferences.

With very few ingredients, it’s just that good. I wanted to quick review a few very important Keto ingredients that are NOT in use in this recipe but we believe they’re solid staples to have on hand. They include: cocoa powder, coconut flake, a powdered sweetener (or any keto sweetener in fact), sliced almonds (however, you might want to try adding some sliced almonds, yum), hemp seed, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract (great for baking), cream cheese, and coconut milk. Like I said, these are great options to have on hand but they’re just not needed for this Keto No Bake Cookies recipe.

You COULD make it in to a ball and get that cookie dough ball vibe… maybe?

Anyway, this is a Vegan cookie option! If you decide to use coconut oil, a natural peanut butter, cardnl chocolate chips, any variety of nuts or almonds, and coconut, you’re all set to make this perfectly Vegan.

Low Carb Kitchen

Here’s the situation on eating low carb and stocking the kitchen right, always have a nut butter option on hand, our preferred is almond butter, you just can’t go wrong. Shredded coconut is nice to have on hand too. Bake it with a sweetener and make a granola or another type of treat.

These keto no bake cookies only have 2g net carbs per cookie and they definitely don’t taste sugar-free at all. This recipe uses chocolate chips rather than cocoa powder and additional sweeteners. Simplicity makes the process a little better and also lets you use a variety of different chocolate chips that completely alter the taste of the cookie.

Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips to find your favorite flavor combination. Whether you prefer dark, white, or salted caramel chocolate chips, each variety offers a unique twist on this simple recipe.

If you don’t tolerate dairy at all, swap out the butter for coconut oil (like mentioned earlier). Note: the cookies might melt a little quicker since coconut oil has a lower melting point than butter. They’re best stored in the fridge to keep the melting from happening.

If you think these don’t end up being sweet enough, you could try adding some Erythritol or Allulose (both safe granulated sweetener options). Note: we don’t recommend using the swerve sweetener, not a big fan of oligosaccharides. There are better sugar free options, even Monk Fruit is a viable option when paired with erythritol (or powdered erythritol).

Have fun and let us know in the comments if you did anything different to change it up.

Is there anything that would work as a swap out for the coconut?

The coconut is added to help give bulk and texture to the cookie. If you leave it out, just replace it with another item of your choosing that fits in with your dietary needs. Could be more chopped nuts, or sliced almonds that are crushed to more closely mimic the texture of the coconut.
