2 Ingredient Keto Pumpkin Seed Cookies
These keto pumpkin seed cookies are a low carb version of the viral pumpkin seed cookies. They need just 2 ingredients and are easy to make. No flour, eggs or dairy needed.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (207g) unroasted and unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 5 Tbsp (75ml) sugar-free maple flavored syrup, see note before starting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the pumpkin seeds to a food processor or blender and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs or a coarse flour. If you use a blender, the seeds will blend in just a few seconds so watch carefully. Be careful not to over-process, or the seeds can release their oils and make the cookies oily.
- Transfer the pumpkin seed flour to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the syrup and stir with a spatula until all of the flour is coated and a mixture starts to clump togethers. If you squeeze some dough between your fingers, it should hold together. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more syrup.
- Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the dough and release it onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough about 2 inches apart. Lightly wet your hands and roll each portion into a smooth ball, then gently flatten into a round disk about 1/2 inch thick. Lightly wet the back of a metal spoon and smooth the edges as needed.
- Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges and set on top. Let the cookies cool and set completely on the baking sheet before removing. Cookies can be enjoyed right after they are cooled and set. Store any uneaten cookies in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Sugar-free maple syrup note: I used ChocZero maple syrup* sweetened with monkfruit. Avoid using syrup sweetened with allulose because it is too runny and browns the cookies too fast.
