Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup oat fiber see notes
  • ⅓ cup 5 Minute Lemon Curd
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ cup Swerve confectioners
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, oat fiber, baking soda and Xanthan gum and whisk until well combined, then set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, add the butter and whip using a hand mixer. Add in the Swerve confectioners and cream together. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing. Mix in the dry ingredients, only until combined.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough, roll them in your hands briefly, to form a ball, then set them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. Then using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon round measuring spoon, make an indentation in the top of the cookie, forming a well.
  5. Add some of the lemon curd into the well of each cookie, making sure not to overfill them. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are golden.

Notes

  • Makes about 26 cookies.
  • If you'd like to change things up a bit, you can swap out the Lemon Curd for Blueberry Sauce, Raspberry Sauce or even Cranberry Sauce in the fall!
  • Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
  • To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
