100 calorie Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
Craving chocolate chip cookies while staying low-carb? These low-carb chocolate chip cookies are here to satisfy your sweet tooth without sabotaging your diet. Made with almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, and Lily’s chocolate chips, these cookies are gluten-free, keto-friendly, and incredibly easy to make!
Why These Chocolate Chip Cookies are a Game-Changer
Traditional chocolate chip cookies are loaded with sugar and refined flour, making them high in carbs, calories and not ideal for weight loss or blood sugar control. This recipe, however, swaps out those ingredients for healthier alternatives, ensuring you can indulge in a classic treat while still sticking to your goals. Plus, they’re rich in healthy fats from almond flour, butter, and avocado oil, keeping you satisfied and energized.
Health Benefits
Almond Flour: Low in carbs but rich in fiber and healthy fats, almond flour is a fantastic alternative to traditional wheat flour. It also provides protein, which can help keep you fuller for longer.
Powdered Swerve or Stevia: These sugar substitutes won’t spike your blood sugar and are perfect for those on a keto or low-carb diet.
Lily's Baking Chips: Made with stevia, Lily’s chocolate chips are sugar-free but still provide all the rich, chocolatey goodness you crave.
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons powdered Swerve or stevia
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1/4 to 1/2 cup Lily's baking chips (adjust based on your chocolate craving)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered Swerve or stevia, and baking soda until thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be moist and slightly sticky.
Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the Lily’s baking chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5: Form the Cookies
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and place them on the lined baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers, as they won’t spread much during baking.
Step 6: Bake
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy!
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!).
