Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Heat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Microwave the butter and 25 g sugar-free chocolate chips in a bowl for 15–30 seconds, then stir into a smooth chocolate sauce. 0:31
  2. Whisk the egg with a fork, add it to the chocolate sauce with the vanilla, and mix until combined. 1:29
  3. Add the almond flour, confectioners Swerve, cocoa powder, baking powder, a pinch of salt and 14 g chocolate chips. Mix with a spatula until a thick, fudgy ball of dough forms. 1:56
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto a lined baking tray (about 11), flatten each with a spoon and press 2–3 chocolate chips on top. 3:20
  5. Bake 8–10 minutes. They come out very soft, so let them cool and firm up on the tray. 3:43

Tip. Don't overbake: they set as they cool. Any keto-friendly chocolate chips work; a bigger scoop makes fewer, larger cookies.

Vitamin E Source12%

1.8 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (93%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Show the other 14
Magnesium7%

31 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (58%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Iron5%

0.9 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (28%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Zinc4%

0.4 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (47%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Selenium4%

1.9 µg a serve, mostly from egg (72%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Vitamin A3%

29 µg a serve, mostly from unsalted butter (76%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Potassium2%

90 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (52%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Calcium2%

25 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (72%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin B122%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (89%). 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 D1%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (68%). 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.

Folate1%

5.6 µg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (53%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B61%

0 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (56%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Omega-31%

0 g a serve, mostly from unsalted butter (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.

Vitamin C0%

0 mg a serve. An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Vitamin K0%

0.3 µg a serve, mostly from unsalted butter (80%). 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.
