Ingredients You’ll Need

Erythritol (2 tbsp) – It’s not too sweet and won’t spike your blood sugars. If you need to stock up on some for your holiday baking, you can do so here.

Almond Flour (4 tbsp) – You’ll also be using almond flour instead of regular flour. Almond flour has fewer carbs and more fat than regular flour, making it perfect for low carb baking.

If you’re new to almond flour, definitely give it a try. Here is the almond flour that I recommend.

Unsweetened Coconut Chips (1 tsp) – And for the coconut flavor, you’ll be adding unsweetened coconut chips.

Coconut is not only yummy but good for you as well. It contains fats called medium-chain triglycerides that can promote ketosis.

Cocoa Powder (1 tbsp) – To add the chocolatey layers of flavor, you’ll need some cocoa powder and sugar-free chocolate chips. These not only add flavor but a ton of nutrition as well.

For instance, just 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder contains 10% of your daily copper and manganese needs and 7% of your magnesium needs.

Egg (1) – You’ll need one egg to bind everything together.

Baking Powder (1/2 tsp)

Vanilla Extract (a splash)

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (1 tbsp)
