4 Ingredient No Bake Chocolate Cookies (Keto, Low Carb)
These no bake cookies come out so fudgy, chewy and chocolatey. They are very easy to make with just 4 ingredients and one bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy natural almond butter, unsweetened
- 7-8 tbsp sugar free maple flavored syrup
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add almond butter, syrup and cocoa powder. Stir until all ingredients are completely mixed together and a uniform paste forms. Taste and add more syrup if needed to suit your personal preference.
- Add in coconut flour and stir until evenly combined. Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop dough. Press dough into the cookie scoop to compact it. Release onto prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing dough balls about 1.5 inches apart.
- Use the palm of your hand to press and flatten dough ball into a cookie shape between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick. Since these are no bake cookies, this is what your finished cookie will look like so you can smooth out and shape as you wish. If you are adding chocolate chips, add them to the surface of each cookie, pressing each one partially into the cookie.
- Place cookies in fridge to chill for about 1 hour or until firm. You should be able to peel the cookies off from the parchment paper. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge to preserve firmness.
Notes
- Almond butter is needed for the chewy texture. While you can substitute with peanut butter, your cookies will come out more crumbly and not chewy. If you want to use peanut butter, I recommend checking out my keto no bake peanut butter cookies recipe linked above.
- Make sure to use creamy natural almond butter, the kind that needs to be stirred.
- I use 7 tbsp syrup. But if you prefer sweeter, you can add 1-2 more tbsp of syrup. Just make sure to taste it first before adding more. If you do add more syrup, be aware that your cookie dough may look like it is shiny/greasy but it's actually the syrup as it doesn't get completely absorbed when you add a lot. Once the cookies set, the shininess should mostly disappear but when the cookies are left at room temperature they will get shiny again. Keep in mind that if you are using chocolate chips, you will get additional sweetness from them.
- I used Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup*
- If you are using chocolate chips, I recommend Lily's semi-sweet baking chips.*
