Keto Monster Cookies

A batch of keto monster cookies is the perfect thing to add to your holiday baking plans. Filled with peanut butter, coconut, and walnut.

What Are Monster Cookies 

Monster cookies are a classic midwest recipe that people usually make around the holidays. They are usually made without any flour – just peanut butter, oatmeal, M&Ms, and chocolate chips (in addition to the eggs and other baking supplies). 

They are called monster cookies because you need an extra-large mixing bowl to make them. It makes a huge batch of large cookies. 

It’s really easy to match them to the current holiday. Just use the seasonally-decorated sugar-free chocolate candies. 

Keto Monster Cookies 

There are just 4 grams net carbs in each monster cookie. I used almond flour instead of oatmeal to keep the monster cookies low in carbs. You’ll also need to use Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute to sweeten the cookies.  

Remember to use sugar-free candy-coated chocolate candies and Lily’s semi-sweet baking chips. The unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped walnuts add a crunchy texture and plenty of healthy fats too. 

Almond Flour Monster Cookies 

Use almond flour, not almond meal, when making keto monster cookies. Almond flour is finer. Almond meal is made by grinding up almonds and their skins, so it makes anything a little grainy. 

The cookies turn out so soft and chewy when you use almond flour. You can use either soft or creamy peanut butter – both types work. One will give the cookies more texture than the other. 

Easy Monster Cookie Recipe

These monster cookies are perfect any time of year! Serve them as a healthy after-school snack, add them to your meal prep, or package them up and give them away as part of your Christmas cookies tray. 

The best way to make these cookies ahead of time is to freeze them. Bake the cookies and let them cool off completely. Then, place them on a parchment-paper-covered baking sheet in a single layer and put it in the freezer.

Once the cookies are completely frozen, put them in a resealable freezer-safe food storage bag. The cookies will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months. 

Coconut Walnut Cookies 

These cookies aren’t just delicious, they are good for you too! Monster cookies are high in protein thanks to the chopped walnuts and almond flour.

These cookies are also high in healthy fats, so just one or two will help you feel full and cut down your sugar cravings.
