Best Sugar-Free Sweeteners For Sugar-Free Almond Butter Cookies

When it comes to choosing a sugar-free sweetener for these low-carb cookies, any of your favorite equivalents will work. Just keep in mind that they have varying degrees of sweetness.

Some sugar substitutes measure cup for cup, while others are not as sweet as sugar and would require more in order to get the same level of sweetness.

If you are a regular on our site, you know by now that I’m a huge fan of Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener.

This is because the texture of Lakanto is spot-on since there is barely any aftertaste.

It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend. If you have not given this all-natural sweetener a try, you have no idea what you are missing. 

That being said, I’m also partial to Swerve, another erythritol blend.  It works well in this recipe and is a great choice if you are looking for a sugar substitute that has no bitter aftertaste and measures just like sugar.

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors.

Like Lankanto, Swerve has a 0% impact on blood sugar. I know some of you are stevia fans; if that’s you, you can use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure in this recipe.

However, it’s important to note that if you are using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you cannot easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success. You will want to use Splenda, which has a bulking agent. It’s the one that comes in larger bags.

How To Make Perfect Keto Almond Butter Cookies

With very little prep time, you can enjoy these easy almond cookies.

You’ll begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and preparing the cookie sheet by lightly greasing or lining the baking tray with parchment paper.

Then, using an electric mixer, you’ll combine the almond butter with the butter, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg.

Next to the wet ingredients, you’ll add the dry ingredients: almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat the mixture until it is fully incorporated.

Once the cookie dough is ready, drop a tablespoon or small cookie scoop of dough to form little dough balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet.

Using your fingers, slightly flatten the cookies.

Next, bake them in the 350-degree oven until golden brown around the edges, for about 10–12 minutes.

Last but not least, allow the almond butter keto cookies to cool completely before eating and storing, as these cookies can be fragile until fully cool.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to three weeks for best results.

Keto Baking

Can I tell you that when I first started baking with low-carb ingredients, I struggled? That’s because keto baking can be a bit overwhelming.

There are just so many ingredients that simply do not behave exactly like their high-carb counterparts. Frankly, it was frustrating.

Especially since I was an experienced baker who was used to baking with her eyes closed. It was enough to make me want to throw in the towel.

Today, I understand keto baking, but that was not always the case.

Trust me, those first attempts were epic failures. So stay the course because the satisfaction of knowing you are not only making something delicious but healthy is quite rewarding.
