This recipe is for anyone asking can I eat coconut on keto.
Coconut is naturally sweet and full of flavor which is why it works in recipes as a fat or a flour. It is also that fat which may account for why coconut gets a bad rap.
Here is why you can eat coconut on a keto or low carb diet.
When eaten in moderation, unsweetened coconut is useful in recipe as a fat especially in fat bombs and baking. However, always look for the unsweetened coconut version.
Can you substitute flour for coconut flour?
Coconut flour is made from a process of baking coconut meat, that has been separated from the milk, and then grounding it into 'flour'. Because of its consistency, coconut flour can be used in recipes that may call for all purpose flour.
The good news about coconut flour is that it is plant based and friendly to Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo, Keto and Organic recipes.
Coconut flour is also high in fiber and healthy fats as well as having protein in it. Unlike some other flour alternatives, coconut flour is not measured 1:1 with other flours.
Here are some tips for making low carb cookies
This recipe is made with coconut flour.
It is important that you use coconut flour and not any other kind of flour as coconut flour is unique in the way that it is measured.
Here are some more helpful tips for you.
- These cookies are a tasty crunchy cookie. However, they do bake differently than other cookies so keep an eye on them while they bake.
- You can bake these cookies more evenly by rotating the baking sheet half way through the baking process (about ten minutes).
- Make the cookies even more flavorful. Add sugar free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa.

I love your recipes and have tried several. My son is a type 1 diabetic and so I look for recipe that is sugar free. This recipe calls for milk which has a lot of sugar. Do you know if I could substitute almond milk? Thanks again.
TheSugarFreeDiva
Hi. You could try almond milk although, it may turn out a bit loose in texture. Heavy whipping cream is another option. Certainly trying an alternative such as almond milk may take a few tries and adjustments to get the results right. Thanks!
