Can I use a different sweetener instead of erythritol and monk fruit?
Yes! You can substitute with your favorite low carb sweetener, just keep in mind that the sweetness level will vary. If using a liquid sweetener, you'll probably need to adjust the dry ingredients to maintain the right dough consistency.
Is there a substitute for bacon fat if I don't have any?
Yes, you can use coconut oil or butter if you're not strictly dairy-free. The flavor will change a bit though, and the cookies won't have the same savory richness that bacon fat gives them.
How should I store these keto maple bacon cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To freeze them for longer storage, just separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Can I make these cookies vegan?
To make them vegan, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). The texture will be a little different but they still taste great.
Are these cookies gluten-free?
Yes! Since the recipe uses almond flour and coconut flour, these cookies are naturally gluten-free.

Start saving your bacon grease if you want to make these cookies! Or just make a bunch of bacon for breakfast and you should be good to go for making up a batch later in the day.
Be sure to strain your bacon grease through a fine mesh strainer to get all the cooked bacon bits out after frying the bacon. Store bacon fat in a stainless steel container or glass jar. Bacon grease will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about six months as long as all the meat has been removed. You can also freeze bacon grease.
Bacon grease can be stored at room temperature; however, it will go rancid faster. I keep the bacon grease in a dark, tightly sealed container and strain the bacon bits out too if you decide to store at room temperature.
I use a strainer and pour the bacon grease into a small glass mason jar. Or you can use a
