The ingredients for keto chocolate-chip almond cookies

- Granulated sweetener of choice – I use Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit, a natural sugar replacement.
- Milk of choice – I use unsweetened almond milk which barely has any calories.
- Stevia-sweetened chocolate chips – I use Lily’s semi-sweet chocolate chips. These cookies are also delicious with dark or white chocolate chips. Another brand I use all the time is Bake Believe.

FAQs about keto chocolate-chip almond cookies
- What are keto friendly chocolate chips? They are chocolate chips that don’t contain refined sugar. Instead, they are sweetened with natural sugar substitutes such as stevia and monk fruit. Some also contain sugar alcohols such as erythritol.
- What is sugar alcohol? Sugar alcohol is a type of carb. It has a chemical structure that is a mix of sugar and alcohol molecules. However, the body processes sugar alcohol differently than other carbs.
- Can sugar alcohol affect my blood sugar level? Some sugar alcohols can raise your blood sugar level. However, erythritol is a sugar alcohol that may not increase your blood sugar level. So, erythritol might be a good option for people with diabetes.
- Why is erythritol added to monk fruit? Monk fruit is very sweet on its own, so erythritol is added to reduce how sweet it is.
