THIS IS YOUR ULTIMATE KETO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE FIX

Over the course of three years we’ve baked LOTS of Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies which were good, but not good enough.

There always seemed to be something missing whether it be a bit of crunch or the thick cookie with the chewy centre.

Then there was this one night that we were craving thick keto chocolate chip cookies and we got to work in the kitchen and perfected our cooking making skills.

Typically I would go for grain free chocolate chip cookies but I’ve learned a little bit about Oat Fiber and it has changed the way I bake some of our favourite keto treats.

What I like about using the oat fiber is that it changes the texture of the keto chocolate chip cookies which was the success for this recipe.

So far we’ve tested two brands of Oat Fiber and our favourite is Non-GMO Anthony’s Organic Oat Fiber which we bought from Amazon Canada.

Our Organic Oat fiber is gluten-free and zero calorie, making it perfect for low carb baking. Add it to your favourite pastries, breads, smoothies or just sprinkle on foods for an extra boost of fiber.

Oat Fiber in my Keto Chocolate Chips Cookies was my little secret, BUT now it’s out. So if you’re looking to make a mint from keto baking at least link back to my blog post to let the world know you first read the recipe here.

What is oat fiber?

I know what you’re thinking BUT oat fiber is not;

  • ground up oats
  • oat bran
  • oatmeal
  • rolled oats
  • instant oats
  • oat flour
  • old-fashioned oats

You cannot substitute any of the above for oat fiber as they are not the same at all.

In fact we first learned about oat fiber at at keto show that we attended where we sampled a keto bun that was so soft and delicious.

It was there I had asked the owner of the company if there was oat fiber in the product. He had sad no because then they wouldn’t be classified as grain-free.

I was still interested in oat fiber for many reasons;

  1. helps to keep one regular
  2. naturally high in fiber
  3. zero carbohydrates
  4. used a filler
  5. absorbs seven times it’s weight in water
  6. excellent for baking and cooking keto

There are no carbs or nutrients in oat fiber but you can definitely use it in your keto recipes as a flour substitute or filler. We use oat fiber in our keto breads, tortillas and most treats to keep them as low-carb as possible.

You may notice that when you start the keto diet or if you’ve been on it for a while that you need something to keep you regular and oat fiber is where you can turn.

In moderation oat fiber is amazing and many products that you buy that are pre-made keto likely already have oat fiber on the ingredient list.

Mrs. CBB’s mother is diabetic and doesn’t eat much in the way of fibrous vegetables and fruits with her dementia but loves her sweets. These cookies have become the new diabetic chocolate chip cookies in her life but also help to keep her regular.

Let’s get baking!

Best sugar-free chocolate chips

I’ve tried both Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips and by far Krisda sugar-free chocolate chips that are sweetened with Stevia is our favourite. We typically stock up and keep them in the freezer and when we need some we just scoop out what we need.

You can find them at Loblaws stores for $8.49 a bag in the health food aisle but if not Lily’s premium is our second choice and you can order them online from most low-carb grocery stores or from Amazon Canada.

  1. Do NOT over-bake these even if you don’t think they are done, they are done and just leave them on the baking sheet to cool. (We put ours outside in the dead of winter to chill right on the tray)

  3. Freeze them before eating as per instructions. (You can thaw them out after or eat them cold (our favourite).
