Keto No-Bake Chocolate Cookies
This keto no-bake cookies recipe results in fudgy treats that are sweet and yield just one carbohydrate per cookie. Sugar is substituted with erythritol as a sweetener.

Prep time: 10 minutes + 15 minutes for chilling
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

- Coarse sea salt for topping
Directions:
1. In a medium-size saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the coconut oil and almond butter. Stir until it is melted and blended.
2. Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and sweetener. Stir to combine well. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a slow simmer.
3. As soon as the sweetener melts and is well incorporated, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the coconut flakes and hemp seeds.
4. Set the pan aside and allow it to cool slightly. Don’t allow the fudge to harden.
5. Spoon equal amounts of the cookie batter into two 12 cup silicone mini muffin baking pans. Sprinkle a little coarse salt over the top of each cookie.
6. Place the muffin pans in the freezer for 15 minutes or until the cookies are set. Remove the cookies from the pans and store them in freezer baggies until ready to eat. These should keep for a few weeks in the freezer.
