🍪 Keto Angel Food Cake Cookies
Ingredients

  • 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, to keep it low-carb)
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (instead of cake mix, as a low-carb flour substitute)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (adds texture and reduces carbs)
  • 1/2 cup erythritol (or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles (optional, use sugar-free or skip for a lower-carb option)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a smooth batter.
  3. Portion the Cookies:
    • Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
    • Optionally, add sugar-free sprinkles on top for a decorative touch.
  4. Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges and set.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Enjoy:
    • Serve these keto-friendly Angel Food Cake Cookies as a guilt-free, low-carb treat!

Tips

  • Use a Low-Carb Sweetener: Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener works great for keto baking as they don’t raise blood sugar levels.
  • Add Egg Whites for Fluffiness: If you want a lighter texture, consider adding whipped egg whites to the batter for a fluffier cookie.
  • Customize Flavors: Enhance the flavor profile by adding lemon zest, almond extract, or cinnamon.
  • Chill the Dough: If your dough seems too sticky, chill it for about 30 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
