    Whoever came up with the idea of a breakfast cookie is a genius.  I love the idea of eating cookies for breakfast and there is absolutely no guilt in these cookies because they are keto and low carb.  I want to eat these Keto Breakfast Cookies every day!

    How would it feel to start losing with keto?

    Join my FREE 7 day keto challenge!

    Check out some other delicious keto friendly sweet recipes here: The Best Keto Cheesecake, Keto Brown Butter Pralines, Keto Chocolate Mousse, Almond Milk Ice Cream, Keto Chocolate Cake, keto snowball cookies, and Keto Cookie Dough.

    The base of these cookies are very similar to my keto chocolate chip cookie recipe.  I used almond flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, Swerve sweetener, baking powder, and salt.  I also added in a little coconut flour and to make these more filling with some protein, 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.

    So we mix all of those ingredients together in a large bowl.  I then used a cookie scoop to make 16 perfect little cookies.  I scooped them all out onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

    I then flattened them out by pressing them down a little with my fingers.  This ensures even baking.

    I baked them for exactly 13 minutes.  You will know they are done when they start to brown around the bottom edges.

    Now let them sit to firm up and try not to eat them all…they are so delicious!

    I keep these stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 1 week.  I also love to freeze them!  After they are finished baking, leave them on the sheet pan and put them in the freezer for 1 hour, then put them in freezer safe container and store in the freezer.

      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!

      So good! I was sure I had Hemp seeds and to my surprised I had none! Replaced them with 2 Tablespoon of Chia seeds, They were so deliscious, now can’t wait to try it with Hemp seeds.

      Thank you Jennifer for all your amazing recipes!

      Is it possible to make these using only almond flour? I don’t have any coconut flour.

      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.

      I have to say I was skeptical when I saw the “breakfast cookie” title, but I see you have managed to pack in some nutrition along with tasty cookies!

      These were tasty but way too sweet. I made them again and used half the Swerve – much better.
