Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

These keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are my favorite fall dessert recipe! They’re low-carb, keto-friendly, vegan, gluten-free, and can be made dairy-free too!

I love making pumpkin desserts, especially if they’re dairy-free. I baked them and was always sad to see them go because I was missing out on the creamy goodness of a good pumpkin pie.

However, I wanted to make a low-carb alternative perfect for fall. I came up with this fantastic keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Why are these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies so delicious?

My recipe uses pumpkin and chocolate chips, but I also use pecans because they add a nice crunch. The result is a delicious, moist, soft, and chewy cookie.

  • My recipe uses high-protein flour, which can tolerate more sugar.
  • The fat used in my recipe is a healthy 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
  • The ratio of fat to protein to carbs is 1:3:1.
  • The high fiber content of the flour helps to keep me full longer.
  • Using suitable flour means that the cookies are not too dry and will stay fresh in the fridge for a few weeks.
  • The chocolate chips and pecans add flavor, texture and color.

How do these keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies taste?

These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy, just like classic chocolate chip cookies, with a hint of pumpkin. They’re also packed with healthy fats, so you can feel satisfied without feeling heavy.

Are these keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies gluten-free?

They contain only five ingredients, including coconut flour, which is naturally gluten-free. To be sure, you can always check the ingredients for gluten.

Where can I buy these keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies?

You can find these keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies at most grocery stores or order them online for quick delivery.

Before buying these keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, is there anything I should know?

These keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are slightly different from the classic pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies. They are made with pumpkin puree instead of cream cheese and have a lot of cinnamon and nutmeg instead of pumpkin pie spice. They’re also made with sweetened condensed milk called “heavy cream” (which tastes almost like cream cheese) instead of regular cream.

Because these are pumpkin chocolate chip cookies made with heavy cream, they have a much richer taste. The heavy cream makes these keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies much better.

The heavy cream also makes them easier to digest. In addition, the heavy cream gives the cookies a more tender texture and a creamy mouthfeel. These are some of the best keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies you can buy.

These keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies also use a different type of sweetener. Instead of white sugar, these keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are made with stevia. Stevia is a plant-based sweetener used by people for thousands of years. It’s a healthier alternative to sugar.

It’s natural, calorie-free, and has a lower glycemic index than sugar. It also won’t break down to glucose in the body like white sugar, so it’s great for those who have to watch their blood sugar levels.

More importantly, stevia doesn’t raise insulin levels or stop weight loss as white sugar does. So it’s great for helping people lose weight without worrying about having high blood sugar and insulin spikes.

Can you freeze keto pumpkin cookies?

Yes! The best way to preserve a healthy lifestyle is to create a balanced diet. This includes avoiding processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats. It also includes staying away from foods that have trans fat, as this can have damaging effects on the brain and the heart.

One food that tends to get a bad rap is butter. Butter has a lot of calories and saturated fat, but it is a good source of essential fatty acids and tastes great. It can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Keto pumpkin cookies contain a lot of good fats, including monounsaturated fats and omega-3. They are low in saturated fat and also low in trans fat. They are a fantastic snack or dessert.

When you make these cookies, try to use as much butter as you want. You can easily make a large batch if you crave a treat and have ample butter. Once you have made them, they will stay fresh in the freezer for a long time.

To freeze, pack the cookies into a zip-top bag. The cookies will keep in the freezer for up to three months.

You can also freeze the dough in a single-serving container.

Make sure you leave space between the dough, so they do not stick together.

  • When you want to bake, take the cookies out of the freezer and bake them. The cookie dough will become soft enough, so baking is easy.
  • If you prefer, you can bake cookies while you watch television.
  • They will be ready in about 35 minutes.
  • You can sprinkle the cookies with a pinch of cinnamon if you want.
  • Or add a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
  • Remember to enjoy yourself with a cup of coffee or tea.
  • Enjoy!

Ingredients to make keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Coconut oil (use MCT coconut oil if you want more keto)

Coconut oil has a higher percentage of saturated fats, which makes it more stable and less prone to rancidity than other oils. It is also very rich in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), metabolized differently in the body than long-chain fatty acids. MCFAs have several health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and killing germs. This makes coconut oil a versatile fat to use in the kitchen.

Dark chocolate

Researchers have found that dark chocolate can help with digestion, depression, and anxiety and even boost the immune system.

Cacao powder

Cacao powder contains minerals and other nutrients, such as antioxidants and fiber. Still, it is also an excellent source of the hormone phenylethylamine (PEA), which is known to increase your body’s metabolism.

Almond flour

Almond flour is a ground form of almonds. It is made from whole blanched almonds without the shell. In comparison, an almond meal is ground nuts without any covers. Both almond flour and almond meal are healthy alternatives to gluten-based flour. They are also rich in nutrients and beneficial monosaturated fats. They both have a low glycemic index, making them ideal for people with diabetes.

Almond flour is versatile and can be used in various baking and cooking recipes. Almond flour is a natural source of protein and fiber.

Maca powder

Maca powder is a product made from the maca plant’s root. The use of this substance dates back hundreds of years in South America. It’s an adaptogen that helps the body generate more energy and strength.

Common use includes boosting virility, libido, and cognition. Maca has an energizing effect on the body and may help support weight loss.

Chia seeds

Chia seeds are an essential ingredient in Keto recipes. They help stabilize blood sugar levels. Chia seeds contain Omega 3, which helps improve metabolism, increases satiety, and increases energy. They also help reduce cholesterol, boost mood and promote brain function. They are super easy to use, and there are many ways to add chia seeds to your keto diet.

Erythritol

Vanilla extract

The vanilla bean is a magical ingredient. It brings out the best flavors in foods, giving them a rich and luxurious flavor. It produces a delicious treat when combined with baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

There are many recipes out there for vanilla extract. But most of them include several chemical ingredients. That’s why we recommend using vanilla bean extract and using it in recipes.

The best way to make vanilla bean extract is to roast the vanilla beans and then use them in your recipe. This extracts the oils and imparts a unique flavor to your food.

Alfalfa powder

Alfalfa has been used for centuries as a natural herb for health reasons. Today, alfalfa is considered an excellent source of protein and nutrients. It is also used as a food additive for both humans and animals.

The alfalfa plant’s seeds are the source of this substance. Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, salt, and vitamins B2, B6, C, D, K, and E can all be abundant in this food. It’s a great way to get your daily dose of riboflavin, niacin, folate, and pantothenic acid.

Alfalfa powder is used as a dietary supplement for humans. It is also added to animal feed and food products for livestock and poultry.

Alfalfa ranks among the healthiest of all vegetables. You can’t live without it because of the protein, minerals, and vitamins it provides. It’s an excellent choice for getting your daily calcium intake. Iron and vitamin A can be found in this food as well.

 Sea salt

Sea salt has been used to keep food fresh and add flavor since ancient times. It contains several minerals, including magnesium and iodine. Magnesium is known to help reduce inflammation, so it may also have health benefits.

The mineral iodine has been linked to mood and thyroid function. It is also known for its ability to increase energy, vitality, and endurance.

The sodium in sea salt doesn’t come from table salt, which has harmful additives.
