We recommend one serving (two cookies) per day as your daily snack — although we won't judge if you find yourself reaching for more.

Unfortunately, traditional chocolate chip cookies, unless altered, are not usually keto-friendly because of their high carbohydrate content primarily coming from sugar and wheat flour.

Since coconut flour doesn't contain gluten proteins that bind and create structure, eggs are usually used to hold the product together without crumbling. Using coconut flour in egg-free baking can be tricky but not impossible! Flax eggs, bananas, and apple sauce can also be used to bind and add structure.

Keto cookies soft-baked to perfection. 1-2 net carbs*. 8g of fat. No added sugar.

Consuming too many carbs can kick your body out of ketosis — and it takes several days to 1 week to get back into it. In the meantime, your weight loss may be disrupted.

Most people feel more satisfied after eating ketogenic meals and snacks due to the filling effects of fat and protein. However, it's entirely possible to consume too many calories on a ketogenic diet by eating portions that are too large or by snacking on high-calorie foods throughout the day.

As with bread and pasta, those starchy corn and potato chips we love are terrible for keto. Your body will break them down for energy and pull you out of ketosis, so don't even think about it. There is no real easy way to incorporate potatoes or corn into your diet while on keto.

You can have candy when you're following a keto diet, provided you pick low carb keto-friendly versions. Read the nutrition labels of candy products to avoid purchasing and consuming treats that are too high in carbs to fit into your keto diet.

Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour? ›

To replace coconut flour with almond flour in your keto recipe, follow these recommendations: Replace every 1/4 cup (1 ounce) of coconut flour with at least 1 cup of almond flour. Decrease the amount of liquid in the recipe by using one less egg for every 1/4 cup of coconut flour that the recipe initially called for.

Coconut flour has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, with a hint of coconut aroma. It has a more absorbent texture and tends to create denser, moister baked goods compared to almond flour.

As my nutritionist once told me: if you have an urge for a cookie or a piece of chocolate, that's ok. To eat one or two a day is okay, even - so long as you don't eat a whole box! Because if you have the urge, and try to ignore it, it will probably get worse until you do eat a whole box.

One serving of seven pieces has 1g net carb, 130 calories, 13 grams of fat and 3 grams of protein, but from the taste, you'd never guess that they're healthy for you. They're a lot like cookie dough bites, although the texture isn't exactly chewy.

In response to the question of the frequency of eating, there are no one-quantity-suits all answer. Just eat whenever you are hungry and stop when you are full. However, there are exceptions when you are combining the keto diet with intermittent fasting.
