Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups Crunchy almond butter or natural crunchy peanut butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 4 Tablespoons Melted Butter, or coconut oil
- 1 ½ Cup Coconut flakes
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ½ Cup sugar free powdered sweetener
- ½ Cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, vanilla extract, melted butter, and coconut flakes. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Add in cocoa powder, sweetener and chopped pecans. Mix until combined. Taste the batter and add additional sweeteners as needed.
- Take a large baking sheet and line with parchment paper, wax paper, or a non-stick silicone baking mat. Scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet into 20 cookies and flatten with a spoon.
- Place in freezer for 30 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag and keep refrigerated or frozen.
Notes
- Nut butter: use a natural peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter as well.
- keto sweetener: Use a powdered sugar free sweetener such as Lakanto on Swerve. You can also use allulose which is powdered. Allulose is not a 1 for 1 substitute for sugar so you may need to add a little more.
- different mix ins: if you want to omit the coconut flakes, you could substitute with hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, or different nuts. You could also add sugar free chocolate chips.

The chocolate mug cake is delicious. I did opt to use regular chocolate chips and added 5-6 chopped walnuts.

I love no bake cookies but do not like coconut. Is there anything I could substitute?
