These low carb oatmeal cookies are an excellent alternative to traditional oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for those who do not eat oats or sugar. They're soft-baked style but with an added crunch from the granola that mimics the taste of oats. These tasty cookies are loaded with sweet cinnamon flavor and delicious chocolate chips in every bite.
This keto oatmeal cookie recipe uses chocolate chips to make them extra sweet and gooey. Look for a brand of chocolate chips that is low carb and double check the nutritional label to ensure that the sweeteners used are complementary to your lifestyle. Some brands may use maltitol, which can cause stomach issues and bloating so check the ingredients and choose those that use natural sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit.
These cookies are easy to make and perfect for bakers of all skill sets. A mixture of nuts and seeds is used to create a tasty crunch that makes these cookies so delightful. Rather than source multiple bags of ingredients at the store, all you need is a bag of our Cinnamon Pecan Granola and you'll be ready to make this amazing recipe.
Ingredients
1 cup blanched finely ground almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, softened
½ Cup brown erythritol, or preferred brown sweetener
1 large egg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup NuTrail Granola
¼ Cup Low Carb Chocolate Chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl mix the softened butter, brown erythritol, and the egg until very smooth, set aside.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until thick dough forms.
Fold in the cinnamon, granola, and chocolate chips until fully combined. Chill the dough for at least 15 minutes for best results.
Roll the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees. When done the cookies should be golden brown. They won't be firm until they cool, but they should not look overly wet.
Allow cookies to cool completely, otherwise, they may crumble.
