How to make keto Christmas cookies?

You know how much I love sugar-free cookies sweetened with natural sweeteners, right? As Christmas is coming, it is time to share my favorite recipes of diabetic Christmas cookies. I had pre-diabetes, my mum is a type 2 diabetic, and we enjoy diabetes-friendly cookies for Christmas every year.

So first, let me tell you what makes a Christmas cookie diabetes-friendly?  

Low-Carb flours

Low carb flours are rich in fiber, which means they will slow down your body’s sugar absorption. Fiber is very fulfilling, and you won’t overeat cookies. On top of that, fiber is also amazing for your gut health! In my low carb cookies recipes, I love to use these low carb flours. Below is a list of delicious healthy low carbs flours (or meal) that can be used in diabetes-friendly cookies (affiliate links).

• Unsweetened desiccated coconut – not quite flour, but it binds ingredients very well and doesn’t add carbs.
• Flaxseed meal or any seed meal like pumpkin seed meal.
• Psyllium husk

Healthy fat

Great options for low carb keto baking to make delicious healthy low carb cookies:

• Extra virgin coconut oil – or use refined coconut oil for neutral flavor or if you are not a big fan of coconut flavor.
• Peanut butter – no added sugar, no added oil.
• Almond butter – no added sugar, no added oil.

1. Sugar-free Crystal sweeteners

Great to use as a white sugar replacement, usually these brands can be swapped 1 cup for 1 cup.

• Swerve: Sugar-free crystal sweetener made of a blend of erythritol and stevia. Exists in sugar-free confectionery crystals.
• Lakanto: Monk fruit and erythritol blend.
• Erythritol: 100% natural erythritol.

2. Stevia drops

Perfect for adjusting the sweetness of your baking without impacting the texture or for enhancing drink sweetness. Drops don’t add bulk in baking, so I never use them as a whole recipe sweetener.

• Sweet Drops, Flavored stevia drops: delicious to add chocolate, caramel, coconut, or vanilla flavor to your baking with no sugar.
• Sweetleaf, Pure stevia drops, no flavor.

3. Liquid maple-flavored syrup

The best way to replace liquid sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. This natural liquid sweetener is made of Monk fruit. It is a low-carb, sugar-free fruit like stevia. It adds sweetness without the carbs.

• Lakanto Maple Flavored Sugar-free syrup, a sugar-free natural liquid sweetener made from Monk fruit.
• Choc Zero, maple-flavored syrup, no sugar, no sugar alcohol sugar-free syrup.
