The Essentials of Keto Baking

Keto baking is all about using the right ingredients to keep things low-carb and high-fat. Coconut flour plays a starring role in many keto recipes, offering some unique benefits.

Getting to Know Keto-Friendly Ingredients

In keto baking, choosing the right ingredients is key. Traditional flour and sugar are swapped out for low-carb alternatives.

Coconut flour is a go-to for its low-carb and high-fiber content. You’ll also see the use of all-natural sugar substitutes that keep your treats sweet without spiking blood sugar. 

Why Coconut Flour is a Keto Favorite

Coconut flour shines in keto baking for its low-carb content and high fiber. It is great for digestion and helps keep you feeling full.

Plus, it’s gluten-free, making it perfect for anyone with gluten sensitivities. Because coconut flour is so absorbent, I often use less than traditional flour and usually add extra liquid or eggs to balance the moisture.

Best Sugar-Free Sweetener Options

As far as sweeteners are concerned, I have several choices you can pick from.

My favorite is Lakanto Monk Fruit because the texture is spot on since there is barely any aftertaste. It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend.

You can also use Swerve and an erythritol blend. Or use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure. But if using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for since it’s a much sweeter option.

Unlike other sugar alcohols, all three of these choices have erythritol because it has a 0% impact on blood sugar.

Lastly, if you can easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success. 

How To Make Keto Pumpkin Pie Cookies

Let’s dive into the recipe! To create the perfect keto pumpkin pie cookies, we’ll start by combining the dry ingredients, then mix the wet ingredients, and finally bring it all together for a balance of flavors and textures.

Combining the Dry Ingredients

I gather all the dry ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt.

I mix them well in a medium-sized bowl, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed so that every bite of the cookie is packed with flavor.

With the dry ingredients ready, I set the bowl aside for the next step.

Mixing the Wet Ingredients

Next up, I focus on the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, I blend softened butter, cream cheese, and your sugar substitute of choice.

It’s important to have these ingredients at room temperature so they mix smoothly. Afterward, I add vanilla extract and then beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Bringing it All Together

Then, I slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated.

I then mix in the pumpkin puree, ensuring the dough is smooth and has a lovely orange hue. Once combined, I chill the dough for 30 minutes.

This step makes the dough easier to shape and helps the cookies keep their form while baking.

Baking the Perfect Keto Pumpkin Pie Cookies

Mastering the baking process is all about preparation—getting the dough ready, creating the filling, and baking the cookies just right.

Chilling and Shaping the Dough

Chilling the dough is essential. After mixing everything, I cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This firms up the dough, making it easier to shape into cookies.

Once chilled, I scoop the dough into 2-inch balls using a small cookie scoop for even sizing.

I then arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Using my finger or a small spoon, I create a well in the center of each ball, deep enough to hold the pumpkin filling.

Creating the Filling and Assembling the Cookies

While the dough chills, I prepare the pumpkin pie filling. In a small bowl, I mix pumpkin puree, an egg, a sugar substitute, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until everything is well blended.

To assemble, I preheat the oven to 350°F. I remove the dough balls from the refrigerator, fill the wells with the pumpkin pie mixture, and ensure the filling is level with the top of the cookies without overflowing.

Baking to Perfection

I place the filled cookies in the oven and bake them for 25-30 minutes until the edges are lightly browned.

After baking, I let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storing and Savoring Your Keto Pumpkin Pie Cookies

After your cookies have cooled, proper storage is key to keeping them fresh. Refrigerate the cookies in an airtight container, and they’ll stay delicious for up to five days.

If you’d like to keep them longer, freeze them! Place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually.

Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag so they won’t stick together. These cookies can be frozen for up to three weeks.

When you’re ready to enjoy one, simply take it out of the refrigerator or freezer. If frozen, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for the perfect texture.

Here are a few ways to enjoy these cookies:

• Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat
• Add a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
• Share them with friends and family—they’re perfect for any holiday gathering.
