INGREDIENT NOTES & THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:

  • Powdered erythritol provides sweetness without adding sugar or carbs. Instead, you can use powdered monk fruit sweetener or allulose.

EGG:

  • To generate a soft texture and bind the ingredients together, we need an egg. As an alternative, you can use a flax egg.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour creates a soft, tender, and low-carb cookie texture. Instead, you can use sunflower seed flour.

COCONUT FLOUR:

  • Coconut flour helps keep the dough together by absorbing moisture. As a substitute, you can use 2 tablespoons of additional almond flour.

XANTHAN GUM:

  • Xanthan gum boosts the cookies’ texture and keeps them from crumbling. As a replacement, you can use guar gum or psyllium husk powder.

SALT:

  • Salt improves the buttery flavor and counteracts the sweetness. As an alternative, you can use fine sea salt.
