For the chocolate & nut lovers, these keto German chocolate cookies need to be added to your baking list. They are a double chocolate chip cookie, meaning they have a chocolate cookie based rather than just a plain chocolate chip cookie. And these keto cookies have a texture similar to chocolate cake, so they are soft and fluffy.
Toss in some pecans (or your favorite nuts) and shredded coconut flakes to turn a simple keto chocolate cookie into that iconic German Chocolate flavor.
These fudgy, chocolate keto cookies are utterly addicting and hardly taste sugar-free. They can be enjoyed any time of year your chocolate cravings hit, but are especially loved around the holidays.

Keto German Chocolate Cookies Directions
-
Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Combine dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, stir together almond flour, oat fiber, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons oat fiber
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
-
Cream butter and sweeteners
In a large bowl, cream together butter and both sweeteners until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes) using an electric mixer.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar-free sweetener
- 1/3 cup granulated white sweetener
Quick Tip
Mixing the butter and sweeteners for 3-5 minutes helps to incorporate air into the butter which will help make your cookies fluffy and soft. -
Finish the wet ingredients
Mix in the egg and vanilla until combined.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Thick cookie dough
Slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Quick Tip

Make it German Chocolate flavored
Stir in coconut, chocolate chips and nuts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
-
Bake cookies
Pinch off about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll in between the palms of your hands to form a ball shape about 1 1/2 inches thick. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately tap the tray on the counter to slightly deflate the cookies. Continue to let cool on the baking tray for about 3-5 minutes or until you can transfer them to a wire rack without them crumbling. Cookies will continue to harden as they cool.
Quick Tip
Cookies will still be soft in the middle and crumbly when first out of the oven, but will continue to set as they cool. Don't try to handle until they have cooled.
These turned out wonderful!
Always have loved German Chocolate Cake and these satisfy that childhood delight. Even the picky husband said they are the best keto cookie I have made. They are disappearing fast and it isn’t just me.
The recipe is easy to put together and will be a regular for me.
Keep up the great ideas.
Have you tried bamboo fiber? Just wondering if it would work in place of oat fiber.
I haven’t experimented with bamboo fiber yet. I need to get some to try. It kind of freaks me out to eat something that I consider a tree LOL! But I need to get over that.
