Make someone special a sugar-free, low-carb treat with Sweetheart Cinnamon Cookies. Get the delicious smell of cinnamon from your oven with just a few ingredients!

Keto Cinnamon Cookies Made With Love

These soft keto cinnamon cookies are low-carb and perfect as breakfast cookies with a hot beverage or a snack throughout the day. Best of all, they are sugar-free.

Who doesn’t love the taste and smell of cinnamon?

Whenever I walk through a mall with a Cinnabon shop where they make the most delicious-smelling cinnamon buns, I get weak at the knees.

If you or someone you know enjoys a low-carb, high-fat, keto lifestyle, these Keto Sweetheart Cinnamon Cookies make the best homemade gifts.

With Valentine’s Day ahead, you can spread some low-carb love and bake up a batch, even if they are for yourself.

This soft keto cinnamon cookie recipe uses almond flour and coconut flour for texture and flavor.

Almond and coconut are low-carb flour used in many dishes along with lupin flour.

What is lupin flour?

Lupin flour is produced by drying and grinding the lupin bean.

You may also know these as lupini beans (rubbery outside skin), which you can buy in cans or dried beans at the grocery store.

We’ve purchased lupin flour from Amazon Canada but have yet to use it in baked goods.

I tested this recipe using two different baking methods and times to transform these soft keto cinnamon cookies into crunchy cinnamon cookies without burning them.

I ended up with exactly what I was hoping for, although making anything crunchy that is keto has to be baked low and slow.

The other day, I made a batch of keto double chocolate biscotti cookies, which turned out lovely.

I’m not a low-carb, keto diet eater, but I test what we make and see why specific recipes are appealing, and others are not.

For soft keto sweetheart, cinnamon cookies bake as directed below.

I like soft cinnamon cookies, but Mrs. CBB says she craves crunch, but either texture will do.

What are hidden carbs?

This is a common question for anyone starting a low-carb or keto diet.

Are there carbohydrates in cinnamon?

Yes, there are carbs in cinnamon, as do many spices.

Including every ingredient when tallying your net carbs is essential if you are on a low-carb, high-fat, or keto diet such as Atkins.

Every teaspoon of cinnamon equals six calories, 1.2g of dietary fibre, and 1.84g of carbs. – source

How to make Keto Sweetheart Cinnamon Cookies

You’ll find this is a simple keto cookie recipe that doesn’t take long at all to make.

You can enjoy these cinnamon cookies fresh after cooling or straight from the freezer.

We find that the cookies have a more robust flavor after a day or so as they’ve had time to rest.

I use the Kirkland brand cinnamon or, if I find a good organic brand for my baking.
