Keto Apple Fritter Cookies Recipe

Hey there, friend! If you’re looking for a delightful treat that fits your low-carb lifestyle, you’ve got to try these Keto Apple Fritter Cookies.

Why You’ll Love It

• They're soft and chewy, just like a classic cookie.
• You can enjoy them guilt-free on a keto diet.
• They're packed with apple flavor and a hint of cinnamon.
• Perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in.

Pure Comfort

These cookies are pure comfort food. They remind me of fall, with warm spices and sweet apples, making them perfect for any occasion.

What You Need

• 1 cup 1 cup almond flour (96 g) – You can substitute with coconut flour, but reduce to 1/3 cup.
• 1/4 cup 1/4 cup erythritol (50 g) – Feel free to use your favorite keto sweetener.
• 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp baking powder – This helps the cookies rise.
• 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon – Cinnamon adds that warm flavor.
• 1/4 tsp 1/4 tsp salt – Balances the sweetness.
• 1 1 large egg – Make sure it's at room temperature.
• 1/4 cup 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (56 g) – You can use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
• 1/2 cup 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (120 g) – Adds moisture and apple flavor.
• 1/2 cup 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (90 g) – Optional, but adds a nice touch.

Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 12 minutes | Total: 27 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F. As it heats up, the anticipation builds, and you can almost smell those cookies baking already.
2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until everything is well blended, and you see a lovely, light mixture.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and applesauce. This mixture should look smooth and creamy, making it perfect for adding to your dry ingredients.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, but don’t overmix. You want to see little bits of flour, which means your cookies will be tender.
5. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips if you’re using them. They’ll melt slightly and create little pockets of chocolate goodness.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They’ll spread a bit, so give them room to breathe.
7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They’ll firm up as they cool, so be patient.
9. Enjoy these delightful Keto Apple Fritter Cookies warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!

Make It Perfect

• For a little extra flavor, add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the dough.
• If you want a sweeter cookie, increase the erythritol by a tablespoon.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
• These cookies freeze well. Just place them in a freezer bag and enjoy them later.

Mix It Up

• Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for a spicier flavor.
• Swap out the applesauce for pumpkin puree for a fall twist.
• Use different flavored extracts like vanilla or almond for a unique taste.

Perfect Partners

• Serve these cookies with a scoop of keto ice cream for a delicious dessert.
• Pair them with a hot cup of herbal tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
• They also go great with a dollop of whipped cream.
