Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, cottage cheese, eggs, erythritol, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- 3
In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, hemp protein powder, coconut flour, super greens powder (if using), beet powder, baking powder, and salt.
- 4
Gradually add the dry mixture to the avocado mixture, stirring until fully combined. Gently fold in any chocolate chips, if using.
- 5
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
- 6
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked for that perfect fudgy texture.
- 7
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Flavor Enhancement: Cinnamon has a warm, sweet flavor that naturally enhances the taste of baked goods. Its aromatic quality can make the cookies feel sweeter without needing additional sweeteners.
- Health Benefits: Cinnamon has antioxidant properties and may benefit blood sugar control, making it an excellent addition to a keto diet.
Other Aromatics to Consider
-
Vanilla Extract: You’re already using this! It adds a rich, sweet flavor that complements many desserts beautifully.
-
Nutmeg: A pinch of nutmeg can add warmth and depth to your cookies. Use it sparingly, as its flavor can be quite strong.
-
Ginger: Ground ginger can impart a sweet and spicy note. A small amount can brighten the overall flavor profile.
-
Cloves: Ground cloves add a warm spice that can enhance sweetness, although a little goes a long way.
-
Cocoa Powder: If not already included in your recipe, the slight bitterness of cocoa can also enhance the perception of sweetness.
Suggested Addition to Your Recipe
