No-Bake Keto Almond Butter Cookies are the perfect low carb snack at just 1.5 net carbs per cookie! These no-bake treats are perfect for keto meal prep!
These amazing almond butter no-bake cookies have become a favorite in our house! While I love the peanut butter version, I have always loved the flavor almond butter has, especially when paired with chocolate!
I first made a smaller peanut butter version of keto no bake cookies on my other site. They have been a huge hit!
These almond butter no-bake cookies have the same qualities of your old favorites! A fudge-like chocolate base that is made with coconut oil, creamy almond butter of your choice, keto-friendly sweetener, and cocoa powder.
Instead of oats that are full of carbs, we use a mixture of unsweetened coconut flakes and hemp seeds. I think you will be surprised how well the coconut flakes and hemp seeds substitute for oats. Because neither one has a very strong flavor, but they keep their texture or “bite” well so they work well as a low carb oat substitute.

How to Make Keto Almond Butter Cookies
These low-carb no-bake cookies are a breeze to make! Here are the basic steps:
- In a sauce pan, combine the coconut oil and the almond butter over medium low heat.
- As the mixture begins to melt, stir until well combined.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and the sweetener.
- Increase heat to medium. When the mixture has melted and the sweetener is smooth, remove from heat and stir in the coconut flakes and the hemp seeds.
- Set aside and allow mixture to cool slightly.
- Carefully spoon into silicone muffin tins until 3/4 full. Sprinkle with sea salt
- Freeze for 15 minutes until set.
How Many Net Carbs Are in Each Cookies?
If you use a standard muffin tin, you are going to get about 24 cookies. In that case, the cookies come to 1.5 net carbs each and it makes for a very filling dessert.
How to Store Almond Butter Keto Cookies
I store my almond butter no-bake cookies in the freezer and allow them to thaw for a few minutes before eating. I love having a quick and easy low carb snack when my sweet tooth calls!
Tip for Making Keto Almond Butter Cookies
- For these low-carb no-bake cookies, I use a silicone muffin pan to keep them uniform. A silicone muffin pan is preferable because it is flexible and nothing sticks to the pan so these cookies just pop right out!
- For this recipe, I made the keto no-bake cookies a bit larger so one cookie is quite filling. Feel free to use a mini muffin pan instead, if desired.
