**Keto Breakfast Cookies with Almond Butter and Chocolate Chips**
These breakfast cookies are a perfect way to start your day on a keto-friendly note. They're made with almond butter, almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. The almond butter and almond flour give the cookies a nutty flavor and texture, while the coconut flour adds a bit of sweetness. The erythritol is a sugar-free sweetener that won't raise your blood sugar levels. The baking powder and salt help the cookies to rise and brown. And the chocolate chips add a touch of sweetness and indulgence.
These cookies are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different types of nuts or seeds, or you can use a different type of sweetener. You can also bake the cookies for a shorter or longer amount of time, depending on how soft or crispy you want them to be.
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.
