Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Beat the well-softened butter with the brown sugar replacement until fluffy, about 2 minutes. 0:45
- Beat in the room-temperature egg and vanilla, scraping the bowl so all the butter is mixed in. 1:19
- Add the almond flour, gelatin, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix into a dough. 1:44
- Stir in the flaked coconut, chopped pecans and most of the chocolate chips. 2:14
- Divide the dough into 12 and roll into big balls. Space them well apart on a large lined baking sheet, press each to about 2 cm (3/4 in) thick and press the remaining chips on top. 2:54
- Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Cool for about 30 minutes before eating. 3:37
Tip. Use an erythritol-only brown sweetener: the cook says allulose or xylitol stop them crisping. The gelatin adds chew but can be left out. A full batch makes 24.
The method is a summary in our words — the video shows every step.

Magnesium9%
38 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (59%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Iron6%
1.1 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free chocolate chips (45%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Zinc6%
0.7 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (38%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin A6%
54 µg a serve, mostly from butter (88%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Selenium5%
2.8 µg a serve, mostly from egg (46%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Omega-34%
0.1 g a serve, mostly from pecans (66%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Potassium3%
120 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (49%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Calcium3%
33 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (67%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Folate2%
7.2 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (51%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin B122%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (77%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Vitamin B62%
0 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (32%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin D1%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from butter (53%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin K1%
0.7 µg a serve, mostly from butter (73%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Vitamin C0%
0.1 mg a serve, mostly from pecans (50%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
