The story of these breakfast cookies begins in the early days of the ketogenic diet. At that time, there weren't many keto-friendly breakfast options available. So, people started to get creative and come up with their own recipes. One of the most popular early keto breakfast recipes was for almond butter fat bombs. These fat bombs were made with almond butter, coconut oil, and a sweetener. They were a great way to get a boost of fat and protein in the morning. However, they were also very dense and not very portable. Eventually, someone had the idea to add almond flour and coconut flour to the fat bomb recipe. This lightened the texture of the cookies and made them more portable. The resulting cookies were a hit, and they quickly became a staple of the keto breakfast routine. Over the years, the recipe for these breakfast cookies has been refined and improved. People have experimented with different types of sweeteners, nuts, and seeds. They have also found that baking the cookies for a shorter amount of time results in a softer cookie, while baking them for a longer amount of time results in a crispier cookie. Today, these breakfast cookies are a popular and versatile keto breakfast option. They are easy to make, customizable to your liking, and a great way to start your day on a keto-friendly note.
