How to Make No Bake Keto Breakfast Cookies
Step 1: Prepare the dry ingredients
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
To make the cookies, simply combine together almonds and coconut in a bowl. It’s important to prep this to have ready for once you’ve melted the other healthy ingredients together.
Step 2: Make the chocolate peanut butter mixture
Add the peanut butter, sweetener, cocoa powder and butter or coconut oil to a small saucepan.
Place over low to medium heat and stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Combine the ingredients
Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the almonds and coconut.
Stir well until everything is evenly coated and you have a thick cookie dough mixture.
Step 4: Shape the cookies
Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the mixture onto the prepared tray for each cookie.
Continue until all of the mixture has been used.
Step 5: Chill
Place the tray in the fridge for a few hours, or until the cookies are firm.
Step 6: Store
Transfer the cookies to an airtight container and keep them in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
Storage and Meal Prep
These no bake keto breakfast cookies are ideal for making ahead.
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will keep well for around 5 to 7 days.
If you prefer a firmer cookie, keep them chilled until ready to eat.
You can also freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe container, with baking paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together. Allow them to thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
