I have been asked, is sugar-free chocolate keto.
When people ask me if something sugar free is also keto friendly, I tell them it depends.
Really, anything is keto or low carbohydrate friendly if the ingredients that go into making it are.
Luckily, there are a lot of sugar free and keto low carb options these days.
I will say that 99% of the time, if something is keto and low in carbs it does not have sugar in it and is thus, sugar free. However, it is always best to read the packaging and look for 'net carbohydrates' to know for sure.
Here are some tips for making these sugar free keto chocolate mint cookies.
While almond flour is the flour the flour of choice in this recipe you can sub in another nut flour. However, if you decide to use another flour, please use one that measures 1:1 with almond flour (you may also be able to omit the egg!).
Here are some more helpful tips for you.
- I always like to remind people to use ingredients that are fresh. This is true for the dry ingredients as well as the other ingredients.
- Make this a vegan recipe. Simply sub in a vegan egg for the regular egg (see details on packaging for usage).
- These cookies can be made flat or not-so-flat. Simply use the back of a spoon or your hand to press the cookies into the baking sheet before placing the cookies into the oven.
