Keto Pumpkin Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional add-ins: sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts (adjust based on preference)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol together until creamy.
- Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and continue to mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cookie dough forms. If desired, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out.
- Use a fork to gently flatten each cookie and create a crisscross pattern on the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
