❤️ Why you’ll love them

• Gluten-free & grain-free

• Low in carbs

• Naturally sweetened (I use xylitol or stevia or monk fruit)

• Packed with healthy fats

• Taste just like the real deal — maybe even better 😁

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 cup almond meal (the finer, the better)

• 1 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut

• 1 cup flaked almonds (or swap in chopped walnuts or pecans) I didn't have any flaked almonds so I used chopped pecans and pumpkin seeds. 

• 50g butter (salted or unsalted — just add a pinch of salt if using unsalted)

• ⅓ cup xylitol (or your preferred keto sweetener)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp water

• 2 eggs

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (302°F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine almond meal, desiccated coconut, and flaked almonds (or nuts and seeds of choice). Stir well.

3. In a small saucepan, melt together the butter, xylitol (or sweetener of choice), and vanilla over medium-low heat. Let it simmer for 4–7 minutes until it turns a rich golden colour and smells like caramel.

4. Remove from heat and stir in the baking powder and water — it may bubble! Stir until smooth.

5. Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and mix everything together thoroughly.

6. Roll into tablespoon-sized balls, place on trays, and flatten — they won’t spread much in the oven.

7. Bake for 15–17 minutes until lightly golden around the edges (for crispier biscuits, bake up to 20 minutes).

8. Let cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy warm for a crumbly bite, or let them cool completely for that classic chewy texture.

✅ Tips for success

• Make sure your almond meal is finely ground — whisk it if clumpy.

• Use unsweetened coconut for the right texture and taste.

• Taste the batter before baking — a tiny sprinkle of sea salt on top can take these to salted caramel heaven.

• They firm up as they cool, becoming delightfully chewy by the next day.

🧊 Storage

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to a week — but they probably won’t last that long!

• Freezer: Wrap individually in foil or pop into a container. Let defrost in the fridge for a chewy treat anytime.
