OATMEAL COOKIES
Conventional oatmeal cookies typically take raisins, but raisins simply aren’t a keto-friendly option.
You could, of course, add a tiny amount of them in, but it really wouldn’t be worth your while. There would be so few of them, the flavour wouldn’t come through.
Similarly to my keto, coconut flakes and sliced almonds become the replacement for the oats.
You simply give them a whiz in the food processor to break them up a little more and you get that perfect keto oatmeal consistency.
It’s really quite remarkable how much it resembles oatmeal in both taste and texture.
Then you proceed the way you would with any low carb cookie recipe.
SUGAR-FREE OATMEAL COOKIES
Sugar-free cookies are great for keto snacks or keto treats because they contain so much butter. Make sure you use a good quality butter that is grass-fed.
Cream the butter and sweetener together, add an egg and some vanilla, and stir in the “oatmeal” and flour. Scoop them up, roll them into balls and bake.
It’s a pretty simple formula but it really works for those oatmeal cookies carvings.
