Keto Pumpkin Cranberry Cookies

These keto pumpkin cranberry cookies have the perfect combination of two seasonal favorites: bright, plump, tart cranberries and flavorful pumpkin spice.

They come together beautifully for one amazing keto pumpkin cookie with a cranberry twist. These are the cookies you’ll want to serve when pumpkin season is at its peak.

It’s the perfect low-carb pumpkin cranberry cookie you’ll want to be sure to add to your holiday cookie tray. 

A flavorful cookie recipe that is not only delicious but also happens to be gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and keto-friendly!

These seasonal cookies were inspired by our keto pumpkin cream cheese cookies, a delightful option you should also check out.

However, in this recipe, the cookies are studded with fresh cranberries and then get a quick drizzle of vanilla icing for a delightful treat.

Keto Pumpkin Cranberry Cookies

In my family, the combination of pumpkin and cranberries is a seasonal must.

We simply can’t get enough of this combination, and frankly, we don’t understand why the whole world doesn’t agree with us. 

Trust me, if this is the first time you have tried this combo, you are in for a real treat.

And the fact that these are cookies, well, you also get built-in portion control, which makes so much sense with a sugar-free pumpkin cranberry cookie that tastes this good—just saying. 

In my kitchen, the combination of pumpkin and cranberries in a recipe for low-carb pumpkin cranberry cookies is truly a perfect match.

After all, with every bite of these cookies, you get to experience the natural sweetness of pumpkin and the juicy tartness of cranberries. A true winner in my book!

How To Make Keto Cranberry Pumpkin Cookies

What makes this the perfect soft-baked keto pumpkin cookie is the use of cream cheese in the batter. I am such a fan of using cream cheese in keto recipes that I have an entire collection of keto cream cheese recipes. 

When making these gluten-free pumpkin cranberry cookies, make sure you choose pumpkin puree and not pumpkin filling. The latter adds sugar and spices to the mix. What you want to make sure of is that it’s puree only.

Note that you can use frozen or fresh cranberries for this recipe.

However, if you choose to use frozen cranberries, allow them to rest on the kitchen counter while you allow the other ingredients to come to room temperature.

This is to ensure that the cranberries cook properly. 

The Sugar Substitutes That Work

When it comes to choosing which sugar substitute to use for sugar-free pumpkin cranberry cookies, I have several options you can choose from. 

First and foremost, you should know that my go-to choice is Lakanto Monk Fruit because the texture is spot on, and there is barely any aftertaste.

If you have struggled to find a sugar substitute that comes close to sugar, this monk fruit and erythritol blend may be just what you need.

I LOVE Lankanto because it really behaves the most like sugar in my book. It’s the one I come to often for this very reason.

With that being said, you should also know that I’m also partial to Swerve, an erythritol blend. 

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors. It also has a 0% impact on blood sugar.

You can, however, also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for these cookies if you’re a fan of stevia.

This is the only stevia brand that I would even consider because I find all others to have an intense aftertaste that I can’t get past. 

But if using PYURE, you will want to use half the amount called for; it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

If using Splenda, it needs to have a bulking agent. This is the one that comes in large bags. I don’t recommend Splenda Bake because it’s actually half sugar, half sucralose product.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Our family came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our entire lives supported by God’s grace.

So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to real transformation.

Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives. 

I love how supportive and encouraging this group of believers is. It’s exciting to see how people are transforming their lives by combining this lifestyle with the Christian faith. 

We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you’ve been missing.

Be sure to request our FREE Jesus and Keto E-Book. (First 7 Days) We hope it blesses you.
