These Sugar-Free Keto Pumpkin Cookies taste like an oatmeal cookie but may be enjoyed on a keto food regimen! Texture like a soft oatmeal cookie without using rolled oats!

SUGAR-FREE LOW-CARB PUMPKIN COOKIES

The primary name I believed of after I created these cookies was the Pumpkin N’Oatmeal cookie. I know it’s a funny name and one you’ve probably never heard of, but when you taste them you should have a tough time not wanting a second one.

Perfect for pumpkin season with a combo of a soft pumpkin cookie, but with the feel of an oatmeal cookie made by utilizing my secret ingredient.

NUT FREE KETO PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

As a way to make these pumpkin cookies without almond flour since my youngest has a tree nut allergy, my secret ingredient of selection is sunflower seeds. Why sunflower seeds you ask?

While I even have made some desserts using almond flour, since my son is allergic to nuts he can’t eat any and that makes him sad.

So I attempt to make the whole lot I bake without peanut or tree nuts as a rule. I even added sugar free chocolate chips which made the children even happier, but they’re optional.

Sometimes I even have to stray from the no peanut butter thing because I’ve got a hubby and daughter who will likely be as equally unhappy as my son, in the event that they don’t get some love from me every so often in the shape of peanut butter.

So I’ve made them some pretty delicious Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies!

IS PUMPKIN KETO?

Pumpkin isn’t one in every of the bottom vegetables for a keto food regimen, but in small amounts you possibly can enjoy some without kicking yourself out of ketosis.

What number of carbs you eat in your keto food regimen should and might vary because we’re all individuals and one person may not have any issues with a better amount of carbs than another person.

1 cup of canned pumpkin puree has 19.8 grams of carbs. ½ cup canned pumpkin has 9.9 grams.

Most of my pumpkin recipes use a whole can of pumpkin which has 15 ounces, and make 12 or more servings which suggests very low in carbs per serving.

PUMPKIN PIE FILLING VS PUMPKIN PUREE

Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar and isn’t keto friendly.

Canned pumpkin puree has no added sugar, nothing but pumpkin is within the ingredients listed and may be enjoyed in small portions on a keto food regimen or low carb food regimen.

Buying canned pumpkin may be tricky.

You’ll be able to actually make your individual homemade pumpkin puree, but I never have time for that so I just buy canned, pure pumpkin puree. The one ingredient listed is pumpkin and nothing else.

SOFT OATMEAL KETO PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES

I’ve made these a few times now. I don’t buy sunflower seed flour much except when I want the seeds very effective for a keto cake perhaps and it’s the perfect flour to switch almond flour evenly in keto recipes.

Mostly I grind the unsalted, raw seeds myself in my food processor.

The one thing I want to say is that, For those who grind and process the seeds an excessive amount of you’ll NOT get that texture of an oatmeal cookie.

I learned that on my second attempt for these keto cookies and while they were still tasty, I just like the texture in these as I’m sharing today, as well did my taste testers.

CLASSIC PUMPKIN COOKIES

Not much of a pumpkin fan?

Simply pass over the spices I utilized in these low-carb pumpkin cookies. Just using the pumpkin puree alone is not going to be enough to make these cookies have an overwhelming pumpkin spice flavor.

Those spices are needed for that. You can too use store bought pumpkin pie spice all ready prepared for you. Here’s my easy homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe that takes just a couple of minutes to make and may be utilized in this delicious keto pumpkin cookie recipe.

They’re delightful for pumpkin spice season and were a giant hit with friends and whole family. Hope you enjoy them too!

CAN I CHANGE THE SUGAR-FREE SWEETENER?

Yes, in any of my low carb recipes you possibly can swap out the sweetener I’ve used. It’s all the time an excellent idea to make use of only a small amount of your chosen sugar substitute, taste batter before adding eggs and judge if you happen to need more sweetener before you bake pumpkin cookies.

Not one of the low carb sweeteners I exploit in my recipes will spike blood sugars.

Everyone’s palate is different and trying out different sweeteners to satisfy your sweet tooth is why I created my conversion chart for you! My chart includes Monk Fruit Sweetener, Allulose, Stevia and lots of other options.

Recipe Notes

Net Carbs for 1 cookie: 2g

This recipe was first published in October 2015.

Brenda’s Notes:

• For those who haven’t got Swerve sweetener you may as well use one other sugar free sweetener like Sukrin Gold which is a brown sugar sub. I might use only ½ cup of one other sweetener since Swerve is far less sweet than most other granulated substitutes.
• If you might have no nut allergies in your loved ones, the sunflower seeds may be subbed with almonds.
• PLEASE NOTE: For those who use all ready store bought ground sunflower seeds you’ll NOT get the feel here. You would like unsalted, raw sunflower seeds and if you grind them in your food processor, just pulse a couple of seconds, you need to still give you the option to see the seeds.
