INGREDIENT NOTES:
MOLASSES-STYLE KETO SYRUP:
- This keto syrup is used to provide a dark color and a deep flavor of caramel. You can use keto maple syrup, monk fruit sweetener, or a little bit of blackstrap molasses instead.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder makes the snap cookies sweeter and crisper. We can swap it with allulose, stevia, or monk fruit.
SPICES:
- We use different kinds of spices like cloves, ground ginger, nutmeg, or cinnamon to provide a warm taste. You can also use black pepper or fresh, grated ginger.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This flour doesn’t contain any gluten and makes tender crumbs. We can substitute it with a tbsp of coconut flour, as it soaks up extra liquid.
BUTTER:
- Butter is used to make all the corners crispy and moist with a rich taste. As a replacement, utilize the coconut oil or browned butter.
EGGS:
- Eggs are important for creating a structure and chewiness. You can use flax egg as an alternative.
