Keto Cookies
These cookies have a fudge-like base with coconut oil, nut butter of your choice, keto-friendly sweetener, cocoa powder and butter.
The “filling” is a mixture of unsweetened coconut flakes and hemp seeds. I think you will be surprised how well the coconut flakes and hemp seeds substitute for oats.
Neither one has a very strong flavour, but they keep their texture or “bite” well so they work well as a low carb oat substitute.
iNGREDIENTS

- three/4 cup creamy low carb peanut butter or almond butter

- 1 cup swerve sweetener (brown sugar or granular)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (non-compulsory)
- 1 half-cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons hulled hemp seeds, also known as hemp hearts (you could use an extra 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes if you do not have this. I just like the blended texture and it adds a bit of fibre)
- sea salt for topping (optionally available)
