    These easy low carb and keto oatmeal cookies with almond flour are filled with almonds and hemp hearts and are so delicious! They are perfectly sweet, yet sugar free, and the perfect grab and go gluten free keto snack or breakfast. I also give instructions on how to use real oats!

    I know what you are thinking...you can't have oats on keto! This is correct, but listen up, these keto oatmeal cookies actually have no oats! So why am I calling them oatmeal cookies? 1. Because people search google for keto oatmeal cookies and I just want to give the people what they are searching for. 2. This low carb cookie recipe has the taste and texture of a delicious oatmeal cookie!

    The base of these keto cookies are very similar to my keto chocolate chip cookie recipe.  I used almond flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, and salt.  I also added in a little coconut flour and to make these more filling with some protein and to contribute to the texture, I added sliced almonds and hemp hearts.

    This isn't my first time using hemp hearts in a recipe and it will definitely not be my last.  They are an amazing little superfood that have almost no carbs, and they are packed with protein. Only 2 grams of net carbs per cookie!

    Keto Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients

    This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this keto oatmeal cookie recipe, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For a printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

    1 ½ cups almond flour - a finely ground almond flour yields the best results

    2 Tablespoons Coconut flour

    ½ Cup Granular Sweetener - I like to use an erythritol and monk fruit blend. You could also use a sugar free brown sugar substitute.

    1 teaspoon Baking powder

    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    ½ teaspoon Kosher salt

    ½ Cup Melted Butter - use melted ghee for dairy-free.

    2 Large Eggs

    1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

    ½ Cup Sliced almonds - you can also use chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans.

    ½ Cup shelled Hemp hearts - these are a little protein powerhouse with almost zero carbs. A bag will last a while. Use them for my keto oatmeal and matcha smoothie!

    Now let's say you did want to use 1 cup of oats instead of the almonds and hemp hearts. That would reduce the calories to 148 per cookie and the carbs would go from 4 grams to 6. It would make the keto oatmeal cookies chewy and really taste like a true oatmeal cookie.

    How to make low carb oatmeal cookies

    This section explains how to make these keto oatmeal cookies, step by step. For a full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

    Pre-heat the oven to 350F.  Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.  You may need 2 cookie sheets.

    Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Now stir in the wet ingredients.  Finally, stir in the almonds or hemp hearts (or oats if using)

    oatmeal cookie batter

    Scoop out the mix into 16 even sized cookies and place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart.  Flatten the tops with your fingers.

    Bake in the oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the bottom edges start to turn golden brown.  

    Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.  Store on the counter in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

    How to freeze keto oatmeal cookies

    After the keto oatmeal cookies are finished baking, leave them on the sheet pan and put them in the freezer for 1 hour to flash freeze, then put them in freezer safe airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
    • ½ Cup Melted Butter
    • 2 Large Eggs
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
    • ½ Cup Sliced almonds, *see notes for an option using oats
    • ½ Cup Hemp hearts

    Notes

    • Freezing: After the keto oatmeal cookies are finished baking, leave them on the sheet pan and put them in the freezer for 1 hour to flash freeze, then put them in freezer safe airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
    • let's say you did want to use 1 cup of oats instead of the almonds and hemp hearts. That would reduce the calories to 148 per cookie and the carbs would go from 4 grams to 6 bringing the net carbs to 4 grams.
    • This recipe is my original keto breakfast cookies recipe.  The only difference is the addition of the cinnamon.

      Yum!! I ended up doing 1/2 sliced almonds & 1/2 oats. I used brown coconut sugar and everything else as noted. Oh, and added chopped pecans & walnuts for a nutter cookie! Next time I'll add ground flax and maybe a little protein powder, I've been adding that lately to muffins. Thank you for a great mainstay recipe!! 🙂

      These are GREAT! I always have a batch in the freezer for a quick breakfast or even a quick pick me up in the afternoon. I have added a heaping tablespoon of Oat Fiber and Ground Flax Seed to mine. I like the texture. This recipe is a WINNER!

      When I put this recipe into my fitness pal, each cookie is coming up with 11.9 carbs and 2.2 fiber for 9.2 net carbs. Can you help me figure out what I put in incorrectly because I’m not getting 2 net carbs!

        My Fitness Pal probably added the carbs from the sugar alcohol on the sweetener but it has zero net carbs

      These cookies are so good! I was worried because I've tried keto sugar cookies and keto Pecan Sandies. I hated both of them. I don't remember if they were your recipes or not. Sorry, if they were! Funny thing is they all seem to have almost the exact same ingredients, so I don't know what the difference is. I did add some keto dried cranberries, and I used half erythritol and half monk fruit sweetener. I used the Hemp hearts, too. The cookies might be a touch too sweet, but I really like these. I'm hoping my hubby will like them. I'm trying to get him to do keto, but he's so addicted to sugars and carbs. I'm trying to find recipes that he will like and eat. I just have to wait for him to get home and try one. Thank you for this recipe!

      Delicious but my mixture didn't look as dry as yours. I'm not sure why. I will make these again and see if the mixture is the same. My cookies spread but still yummy and filling.
