Single Serve Keto Microwave Cookie
Description
The recipe combines almond flour with erythritol, a keto-friendly sweetener, along with room temperature butter to create a simple dough. Optional additions such as cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt enhance the flavor subtly, while xanthan gum or gelatin helps provide structure. Chocolate chips can be stirred in for a touch of sweetness.
Forming the dough into a ball and pressing it flat on parchment, the cookie is microwaved on high power for just under a minute—timing varies by microwave wattage. Cooling fully before eating is important, as the cookie firms up upon cooling and develops its final texture.
Intended for a single serving with minimal carbs, this cookie can be varied with different flavorings and stored up to a week, though it’s best freshly made.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon almond flour
- ¾ tbsp butter room temperature (11g)
- ½ tbsp erythritol or more, to taste, golden
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum or ¼ teaspoon gelatin
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- tiny pinch salt optional
- ½ tablespoon chocolate chips optional, sugar free
Instructions
- Mix together all ingredients with a fork, then form a ball.
- Put on a plate lined with parchment paper and press into a thick cookie.
- Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds. My microwave cooks at 900W and 1 minute was perfect.
- Let cool fully before eating. Cookie will firm up as it cools. To speed up the cooling process, place in the freezer.
Notes
- This cookie contains about 1.8g net carbs, or 2.6g net carbs with chocolate chips, and yields one serving.
- Cooling the cookie completely before eating allows it to firm up properly; placing it briefly in the freezer speeds this process.
- While it can be stored in a cookie jar for up to one week, it is best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
