Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Large baking tray

Ingredients
  

  • 100 grams Erythritol (powdered or granular)
  • 100 grams Almond flour (about 8-9 tsp)
  • 200 grams Ricotta cheese
  • 40 grams Coconut oil (about 5-6 tsp)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 grams Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 5 grams Baking powder (added at very end of process)
  • 10 grams Xanthan gum (added at very end of process)
  • 15-20 Keto chocolate chips (no preference on brand here)
  • A few slices of strawberry for decoration (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F (about 180 C)
  • Take out your blender and start by measuring out 100 grams of erythritol
  • Add them to your blenderjug and blend until you have a fine powder. Wait a while for the sweetener tosettle before opening the lid. You obviously don’t need to blend if you’restarting out with erythritol powder, this is only necessary if you’re using themore accessible granule form
  • Add 100 grams of almond flour, 200 grams of ricotta, 40 grams of coconut oil, 1 egg, 2 grams of liquid vanilla extract and a pinch of salt
  • Blend until the mixture becomes homogeneous
  • Once your oven reaches heat, add 5 grams of baking powder & 10 grams of xanthan gum to the blender jug. Blend immediately until you see a nice dough starting to form.Keep an eye on your blender if it’s old or of questionable quality - the gum will make everything harder to mix as the dough solidifies. You may have to mixb y hand at the very end
  • Portion out the cookies into 12 identical pieces. You may have to bake them in two batches, depending on the size of your tray
  • Flatten out each cookie and add some chocolate drops on top for decoration. You can also use slices of fresh fruit like strawberries for blueberries, for example.
  • Bake each batch for about 15 minutes and leave to cool before serving and storing
