INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGS:
- Eggs deliver the moisture content and make a structure. They also maintain the shape and texture of the cookies. You can swap them with flax egg.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Powdered erythritol aids in avoiding a grainy texture and mixes easily in the dough. Alternatively, we can use stevia, monk fruit sweetener, and allulose.
ZUCCHINI:
- Zucchini is a main component in this recipe. It provides a soft and moist texture. You can use the yellow summer squash instead.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This flour provides a buttery and soft crumb to these cookies. As a substitute, use the coconut flour in smaller quantities as it soaks up the water content.
KETO CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- Keto chocolate chips are used to give a sweet taste in these zucchini cookies. You can alternate them with the chopped nuts or chopped unsweetened dark chocolate.
BUTTER:
- Butter forms a soft texture with a rich and smooth flavor. We may substitute it with ghee or coconut oil.
